The Walrus at work	Lyr Req: Happy immigration songs (discuss also) (51* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Happy immigration songs (discuss also)	17 Jun 02
"...I was going to suggest Cheer Boys, Cheer, even though it it is a fairly general British song about emigration....I'm not sure why "The Walrus" thinks it is about Canada in particular ..." Bob, I made the assumption on the basis of the lines: "Theirs shall be the Prairie and the Forest "And boundless meadows, ripe with golden grain" and "The Star of Empire glitters in the West" The former would indicate Canada/USA but the latter makes me think Canada (to a Briton of the 1850s, there was only one empire that mattered). Regards Walrus
