A traditional Canadian song. There are lyrics but I decided to leave them out.
Tracks include guitar, bass, concertina, hand drum, and kalimba.
Lyrics (how I sing them):
Verse 1:
Land of the silver birch
Home of the beaver
Where the mighty moose
Wanders at will
Chorus:
Blue lake and rocky shore
I will return once more
Boom didiyada
Boom didiyada
Boo-oo-oo-oo-oom
Verse 2:
High on a rocky ledge
I’ll build my wigwam
Close to the water’s edge
Silent and still
Chorus
Verse 3:
My heart is sick for thee
Here in the lowlands
I will return to thee
Hills of the north
Chorus

Thanks guys! Wayne: I'd love to hear your version of the song! I don't see it in your uploaded tracks. Hopefully one day :) acoustic57: I didn't know there was another version on here. I'll have to go find it!

Cool, two different takes on this song on this site. Do you folks know each other ? Both versions are very well done. Keep it up!

Great instrumental, Pat. I used to play a First Nations version for the kids at our local library.
