Re: When I First Came to This Land

I also couldn't find a reference to this song anywhere! I put a snippet of it here though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0EPQyWbWEk

I put it through https://github.com/deezer/spleeter to separate the vocals from accompaniment, although I haven't tried speaker separation yet to filter out the guy being interviewed. It's still a little easier to hear with just the vocals track, and I *think* the other unintelligible line is "this shore of virgin wonder".

Suspected lyrics:

When I first came to this land
Oh a land all I would plunder
To take at the stretching of the hand
The beaver filled the streams
And I dreamed a dream so bold and had the chance
To sell the furs to ladies back in France

When I first came to this land
Oh this shore of virgin wonder
Teeming o'er with beast and fish and fowl


Vocal track: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fcmcrafwrutppeu/Stan%20Rogers%20-%20When%20I%20First%20Came%20to%20This%20Land%20-%20Vocals.wav?dl=0

Knowing Roger's, it seems to be going in the direction of how the stolen land has been over-utilized and exploited unsustainably. I wonder how it ends!
