LYRICS
Part 1:
Land of the silver birch, home of the beaver,
Where still the mighty moose wanders at will,
Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more,
Hi-hiya-hiya hi-hiya-hiya hi-hiya-hiya hi.

High on a rocky ledge I'll build my wigwam,
Close to the water's edge, silent and still,
Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more,
Hi-hiya-hiya hi-hiya-hiya hi-hiya-hiya hi.

Part 2:
My paddle's keen and bright,
Flashing with silver,
Follow the wild goose flight,
Dip, dip and swing.

My paddle's keen and bright,
Flashing with silver,
Follow the wild goose flight,
Dip, dip and swing.

Part 1 and Part 2 sing together

Your turn! Sing Part 1 then Part 2 with the backing track.

Dip, dip and swing (repeats)
Silver birch (repeats)
I will return to thee (repeats)

Part 1 to end
