Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Land of the Silver Birch
I'm prepared to believe that they were one song with two tunes, but we did sing them as 2 separate ones: guess the 2 tunes tunes would also harmonise with each other. Have listened to the Michael Mitchell midi and that corresponds to what I knew as "My paddle" etc. For "Land of the Silver Birch" we sang (if in Amin) Land of the Silver Birch A AA EEE, Home of the Beaver A AA E E, Where once the mighty moose A' GA' GEC Wandered at will DD D E, Blue lake and rocky shore A' GA' GEC I will return once more DD D ECA, Boom diddy I dee Boom diddy I dee boom diddy I dee boom A AA AC A AA AC A AA AC A
