Thread Name: Lyr Req: Paddle me own canoe? / Paddle Your Own..
Subject: RE:
I hope someone has the Chieftain lyrics to Paddle and can post them. We could be talking about the same song and only giving the lyrics from different generations and times. Laura Wilder writing about life on the American frontier and family values and for children might not have heard or wanted to give the lyrics about a wandering single man. It might also make a more interestng song to put all the verses we can find together.
