Subject: LYR ADD: land of the silver birch
This one deserves a 'Lyr Add' heading.
I can add little, but the chorus, as I recall, (and the above spellings are in no way phonetic)

Listed in "The Hackney Scout Song Book (1957)" (Where it was included for the first time, following the 1922 edition) as a 'Red Indian canoeing song'
