Northern Boy (Remastered Version) Lyrics & Tabs by Randy Newman
Northern Boy (Remastered Version)
guitar chords lyrics
In Ottawa, there is a custom
Before the boy becomes a man
He takes a drop of Northern courage
And swears he'll do the best he can
He swears he'll do the best he can
Oh Northern boy
As thick as a tree
As dull as a butter knife
Oh Northern boy
Clean of limb, clear of eye
Unfettered he lives, unfettered he'll die
The Nothern boy
Oh, Nothern boy
Saskatchewan
An endless prairie
Oh, Nothern boy
Saskatchewan
An endless prairie
Where the buffalo used to roam
Only a man
Half-blind on whiskey
Would choose to make
This land his home
Would choose to make
This land his home
Oh, Northern boy
As strong as an oak
As quick as a thunderbolt
To adventure he'll rise
The Northern boy
Can be gentle as a lamb
And just like a sheep he will follow you
Whenever he can
The Northern boy
The Northern boy
The Northern boy
