Thread Name: Lyr Req: Cape Breton Lullaby (Kenneth Leslie)
Subject: RE: Cape Breton Lullaby
Three songs come to mind.

MY CAPE BRETON HOME
Written I believe by Charlie McKenna

To the shores of my childhood fond memories I cling
You may talk of your countries and other lands seen
You may talk of the splendors of Italy and Rome
But they'll never compare with my Cape Breton home.

MY NOVA SCOTIA HOME
I believe written/sung by Hank Snow

There's a place I'll always cherish 'neath the blue Atlantic skies,
Where the shores down in Cape Breton bid the golden sun to rise
And the fragrance of the apple blossom sprays the sun-kissed lawn
Down in dear old Nova Scotia, the place that I call home.

THE ATLANTIC LULLABY
I believe written/sung by Hank Snow.

There's a place so dear to me
Nestled by the deep blue sea
Where the womenfolk are noted for their pies
Where the sweet mayflower grows,
It's the home of the bluenose
Where you slumber to the Atlantic lullaby.

If I could remember all the words to all the songs, I would put them here. Alas, as the shadows grow longer, the memory starts to fade.
Think hard, folks.

Ken
