The Night The Barn Burned Down Lyrics & Chords By George Fox

When I woke up in the Yukon
I knew that I was living
In a country that I could grow to love
But I wandered out of Whitehorse
Took a train down to Prince George
I fianlly left but not without a shove
Sailed day and night
Around Vancouver Island, BC
That's when the west coast
Became a part of me
That old full moon looked good
From everywhere I stood
From Hudson Bay
All the way to the Rockies

CHORUS:
I'm clearly Canadian
This country always gets the best of me
I'm clearly Canadian
Where stars burn bright
Over snow so white
Under northern lights, you can bury me

I sailed the Arctic Ocean
On my way to Nova Scotia
And I got a taste of the midnight sun
J'ai entendu le voila chante
Je me suis mis a dancer
In french or in english it was fun
J'ai dit salut
And I rode the old St. Lawrence out to sea
Newfoundland was paradise to me
That old moon looked good
From everywhere I stood
From Hudson Bay
All the way to the Rockies

CHORUS

My memories of Cape Breton
I won't soon be forgetting
Going 'down north' on the
Old Atlantic shore
But I yearned for the flatland
Sweet old Saskatchewan
Had me heading west before too long
Then I made some miles
And caught the Blue Jays flying in the skydome
But I'm finally back in my
Alberta home
That old full moon looked good
From everywhere I stood
From Hudson Bay
All the way to the Rockies

CHORUS

I'm clearly Canadian (X3)
This country always gets the best of me!
