Northh America - Canada

From the wilds of the North
Comes a young voyageur,
With his boyant canoe
Well laden with fur

Chorus
Gladsome and free,
Little cares he
For there's joy in the heart
Of the young voyageur.

There's a song on the lips,
Of the young voyageur,
And his voice, sounding far,
Sets the forest astir.

Chorus
