Tim, I think the song Alison had in mind is one I learned as a child:
Land of the silver birch,
Home of the beaver,
Where still the mighty moose
Wanders at will.
Chorus:
Blue lake and rocky shore,
I will return once more.
Boom-de-de-boom-boom boom-de-de-boom-boom Boom boom boom.
High on a rocky ledge
I will build my wigwam,
Close by the water's edge,
Silent and still.
Chorus
There was at least one more verse; it ended "Hills of the north." I'd be interested in the origin of this song.
