[Verse 1]

G
My seams gape wide as I'm tossed aside

C G
To rot on a lonely shore

G
While the leaves and mould like a shroud unfold

C G
For the last of my days are o're

C G D C
But I float in my dreams on northern streams

C D
That never again I'll see

C G D C
As I lie on the marge of the old portage

C D G
With grief for company

[Verse 2]

G
When the sunset gilds the timbered hills

C G
That guard Temagami

G
And the moonbeams play on far James Bay

C G
By the brink of the frozen sea

C G D C
In phantom guise my spirit flies

C D
As the dream-blades dip and swing

C G D C
Where the waters flow from Long Ago

C D G
In the spell of the beckoning spring

[Verse 3]

G
Do the cow-moose call on the Montreal

C G
When the first frost bites the air,

G
And the mists unfold from the red and gold

C G
That the autumn ridges wear

C G D C
When the white falls roar as they did of yore

C D
On the Lady Evelyn

C G D C
Do the square-tail leap from the black pools deep

C D G
Where the pictured rocks begin

[Verse 4]

G
Yes the fur-fleet sings on Timiskaming

C G
As the ashen paddles bend

G
And the crews carouse at Rupert's House

C G
At the sullen winters' end

C G D C
But my days are done where the lean wolves run

C D
I'll ripple no more their path

C G D C
Where the gray geese race 'cross the red moon's face

C D G

From the white wind's Arctic WRATH!!!
