Land of the silver birch

Home of the beaver

Where still the mighty moose

Wanders at will

Chorus:

Blue lake and rocky shore

I will return once more

Boom did-y-ah-dah

Boom did-y-ah-dah

Boom did-y-ah-dah, boom

My heart is sick for thee

Here in the lowlands

I will return to thee

Hills of the north

Swift as a silver fish

Canoe of birch bark

By mighty waterways

Carry me forth

High on a rocky ledge

I'll build my wigwam

Close to the water's edge

Silent and still

(note: Land of the Silver Birch can be sung simultaneously with My Paddle for a fabulous effect!)
