paroles de chanson Canadian Pacific - George Hamilton IV , Raymond Froggatt , The Moody Brothers , John Loudermilk

I rode your ocean liner to New Foundland
Where I made a livin' in an iron mine
When I got my fill I went to Nova Scotia
And I fished them salty waters for a time
Passing through Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick
I could see them rocks and cliffs of solid stone
Listening to the sea gulls calling to each other
Made me miss my darling and my distant home

Canadian Pacific carry me three thousand miles
Through the valleys and the forests to the sunshine of her smiles
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 then followed
Where the wheat fields and the Old Red River flow
In the quiet hours you whistled on the prairies
Touched my heart and set my memories aglow

I could feel the nearness of her warm soft kisses
When you rolled unto 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 and all its splendour
Where the trees and rockies touch the sky above
I got to British Columbia and heaven
On your tracks I made it back to my true love

Canadian Pacific carry me three thousand miles
Through the valleys and the forests to the sunshine of her smiles
Cross the plains and rugged mountains keep this wandering boy from harm
Canadian Pacific take me to may baby's arms

Canadian Pacific carry me three thousand miles
Through the valleys and the forests to the sunshine of her smiles
Cross the plains and rugged mountains you kept this wandering boy from harm
Canadian Pacific you took me to my baby's arms
