Canadian Pacific

I rode the Ocean Liner to Newfoundland

There I made my living in an iron mine

When I got my fill I went to Nova Scotia

And I fished in salty waters for a time

Passing thru Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick

And I see those rocks and cliffs of solid stone

Listen to the seagulls calling to each other

Made me miss my darling and my distant home

Canadian Pacific

Carry me three thousand miles

Cross the valleys and the forests

To the sunshine of her smile

Cross the plains and rugged mountains

Keep this wandering boy from harm

Canadian Pacific

Take me to my baby's arms

The Atlantic disappeared on the horizon

And Quebec lay waiting for me down the track

For a while I drove a truck to keep from starving,

In Ontario I was a lumberjack

Manitoba and Saskatchewan and Fallon

Where the wheat fields and the Old Red River flows

In the quiet air a whistle on a prairie

Touched my heart and set my memories aglow

I could feel the early savoir of soft kisses

When we rolled into Alberta westward bound

I worked on an oil rig to make some money

For a ticket to the sweetest girl around

Pushing on past Lake Louise in all its splendor

Where the trees and Rockies touch the sky above

I've got to British Columbia, a heaven

On your tracks I made it back to my true love

Canadian Pacific...
