My Old friends and me #1
Chorus:
Big river I dreamed your freighter callin
from a little Cornwall town a little West of Montreal
The cornfields and the smoke stacks I am seein
the St.Lawrence river my old friends and me
Verse:
I recall the place where we danced until morning
just across the tracks where the paper mill boys go
T'was a long hard winter 'n Buck said he was leavin
but the strike is over and new seeds he will sow
and I wonder if the folks will recognize me
for my hair has turned from coal to a little snow
I wonder if little brother is still playin
for he picks guitar in a Hillbilly band
And Mom is worried sick how Lisa's doin
she could have been a star if given a decent chance
And I hear Lancaster Perch is good for fishin
for the ice has broke on the Seaway Valley Line
Chorus End
