lyrics

Land of the silver birch
Home of the beaver
Where still the mighty moose
Wanders at will

Blue lake and rocky shore
I will return once more
Um pum pum, tiddly um pum pum

My heart grows sick for you
Here in the lowlands
I will return to you
Hills of the north

Blue lake and rocky shore
I will return once more
Um pum pum, tiddly um pum pum

Swift as a silver fish
Canoe of birch bark
The mighty water waves
Carry me forth

Blue lake and rocky shore
I will return once more
Um pum pum, tiddly um pum pum

Here at the water's edge
I'll set my wigwam
Close to the silvery lake
Silent and still

Blue lake and rocky shore
I will return once more
Um pum pum, tiddly um pum pum

Land of the silver birch
Home of the beaver
Where still the mighty moose
Wanders at will

Blue lake and rocky shore
I will return once more

This site represents both, so you have an even larger selection of terrible music to choose from. ... more
