I HAVE TRAVELLED ALL THE BACK-ROADS OF THIS COUNTRY
FROM GEORGIAN BAY TO ALBERTA'S GOLDEN SANDS
AND I'VE FLOWN ABOVE THE COLD ATLANTIC WATERS
AND SAW DICK NOLAN'S LITTLE BOATS OF NEWFOUNDLAND
IN MY MIND I SEE THE FRANKLIN EXPEDITION
IT'S NORTHWEST PASSAGE GEORGE BUSH WANTS TO CLAIM
AND JUST TO EAT FARM FRESH POTATOES OF NEW BRUNSWICK
MAKES ME SING OF YOU YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR TRAINS
FOR YOU MY LOVE MY CANADA
OTTAWA OH! HEAR YOUR NATIVE SON'S A CALLIN
FOR THE INDIANS DANCE TO KEEP IT WILD AND FREE
AND A NOVA SCOTIA MOTHER'S HEART IS LONGING
FOR HER SOLDIER BOYS WHO FELL AT NORMANDY
FROM THE FACTORIES AND POOL-ROOMS OF OUR CITIES
TO THE TRUCKER THAT'S CLOCKED A MILLION MILES
AND FROM THE PIZZA JOINT TO TORONTO'S CASA LOMA
YOUR A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH
FROM OLD QUÉBEC'S LAURENTIAN MOUNTAINS GRANDEUR
TO YELLOWKNIFE IN THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN
THE NORTHERN LIGHTS ROMANCE THE MOON OF SPLENDOUR
AND DANCE FOR YOU MY LOVE MY CANADA
I HAVE TRAVELLED ALL THE BACK-ROADS OF THIS COUNTRY
FROM THE YUKON TO THE GREAT PACIFIC RIM
TO THE WAVES OF GOLDEN WHEAT FIELDS OF SASKATCHEWAN
THE C.N.R. WILF CARTER SONGS AND LAKE LOUISE
IT'S THE MAPLE LEAF AND B.C.'S CAPTAIN VANCOUVER
TOMMY DOUGLAS STOMPIN TOM AND SHANIA TWAIN
AND HAL LONE PINE'S VERSES OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
AND LENNY BREAU BEST GUITAR PICKER YOU CAN NAME
FOR YOU MY LOVE MY CANADA
