They sing songs of London and Kentucky and Spain,
Of beautiful places and those I can't name;
I'll sing you a song of the place I adore,
In the beautiful northland we call Labrador.
Where the great otter roams on land and on sea,
Where the bright northern lights shine that's where I want to be;
There's a beautiful maiden I'm longing to see,
In the snow-covered valley she's waiting for me.
Where the towering mountains reach high in the sky,
And the beautiful valleys I'll love till I die;
The great dancing rivers where waterfalls roar,
In the beautiful northland we call Labrador.
Now, I've known some people through cities they've roamed,
But just for a short time they favour my home;
Sometimes they get lonesome and homesick for,
This home in the northland, we call Labrador.
Where the towering mountains reach high in the sky,
And the beautiful valleys I'll love till I die;
The great dancing rivers where waterfalls roar,
In the beautiful northland we call Labrador.
In the beautiful northland we call Labrador.
