Subject: RE: Songs That Mention Canadian Places
So over the mountains and over the plains
Into the muskeg and into the rain
Up the St. Lawrence all the way to Gaspe
Swingin our hammers and drawin our pay
Drivin em in and tyin em down
Away to the bunkhouse and into the town
A dollar a day and a place for my head
A drink to the livin and a toast to the dead

Canadian Railroad Trilogy; Gordon Lightfoot

Drive me to the airport cause my baby's waiting
Way up north in Calgary the ice is breaking
In Calgary she's waiting
All alone

Calgary; Ian & Sylvia Tyson
