Land of the silver birch

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

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