tommy makem - cape breton of the welcomes lyrics
when i was just a young man, my father said to me
you can roam the wide world over when you are young and
free
but wherever you may wander, wherever you may roam
cape breton of the welcomes will always call you home
chorus:
from cape north down to the canso straights, i’ve
wandered all the way
i’ve seen the sparkling waters flow into sydney bay
from iverness to landsburgh, your earth, your sea, your
sky
cape breton of the welcomes. i’ll love you ’til i die
well, i roamed the wide world over to see what i could
find
cape breton of the welcomes was always on my mind
i thought about the friends i left behind in old glencoe
port hood, mabou and margaree and how i missed them so
chorus
i’ll raise a toast to all my friends within your rocky
sh-r-
whatever treasures they may have, i wish them ten times
more
i’ll sing your praise, my island from sea to shining sea
cape breton of the welcomes you’re all the world to me
chorus
