Canada's Birthday July 1
« on: 23 Jun 2020, 08:10 pm »
One of the vinyl albums I transferred to CD was Canadian Centennial album. I would like to post it on Youtube but they'll probably block it due to copyright. Anyway the song I called Canada brought a tear to my eye hearing it again.

It goes like this:

CA-NA-DA
(One little two little three Canadians)
We love thee
(Now we are twenty million)
CA-NA-DA
(Four little five little six little Provinces)
Proud and free
(Now we are ten and the Territories sea to sea)
(Chorus):
North south east west
There'll be happy times,
Church Bells will ring, ring, ring
It's the hundredth anniversary of
Confederation
Ev'rybody sing together!

(French verse):
CA-NA-DA
(Un petit, deux petits, trois Canadiens)
Notre pays
(Maintenant, nous sommes vingt million)
CA-NA-DA
(Quatre petites, cinq petites, six petites provinces)
Longue vie
(Et nous sommes dix plus les Territoires; Longue vie)
(Second Chorus):
Rah! Vive le Canada!
Three cheers Hip, Hip, Hooray!
Le centenaire,
That's the order of the day
Frère Jacques Frère Jacques
Merrily We Roll Along
Together all the way
(Repeat second chorus)

An early Very Happy Birthday to our wonderful neighbor to the north (or south if you live in Detroit)!

was 12 years old - moved to Ottawa this summer.  This song was a big part of that summer of '68 from NS - such memories - will have to find a version to stream next Wednesday.  Now on Vancouver Island.
