You are still missing one verse about being old and grey - I found i-1st first verse land of the sliver birch, home of the beaver, land where the mighty moose wanders at will 2nd - My heart grows sick for you, here on the prarrie, I will return once more, hills of the north. 3rd High on a rocky ledge, I'll build my wigwan, close to the forest edge, quiet and still 4th Swift as a silverfish, canoe of birch bark, thy mighty waterways carry me forth 5th my hair is silver now, my boes are weary, I shall return no more, hills of the north. chorus: Blue lakes and rocky shore, I will return once more Bum Ba ti bum bum, (repeat), bum bum bum Yes the title is Land of the Silver Birch I have a whole archive of songs from the 1950's - early 1960's and what I don't have my friend has in Pennsylvania where I grew up and these were sung at Camp Pine Grove - a magical place
