Thread Name: Tune Req: The Lake of Caogama
Subject: The Lake of the Caogama
I'm looking for the tune (and additional lyrics) for one of the first songs I ever heard when we came to Canada in the mid 70's (I was just a boy).

The song is "The Lake of the Caogama"

the first verse is

Oh now we're leaving home me boys, to Ottawa we'll go Hoping for to be employed, adn yet we do not know We met with old Tim Paterson sayin' "Ain't you goin awa" I'm going up the Gatineau round the lake of the Caogama

There is no chorus that I know of

Cheers

Aengus
