Canadian Pacific

Brent Mawdsley

Sides Face, Grand Square
I rode an ocean liner to Newfoundland,
Where I made a living in an iron mine.
When I got my fill I went to Nova Scotia,
Left Allemande and Weave The Ring in time
Canadian Pacific
Swing your own and Promenade
Through the valleys and the forests,
To the sunshine of her smile

The Atlantic disappeared on the horizon,
And Quebec lay waitin’ for me down the track.
For a while I drove a truck to keep from starving.

Pushing on past Lake Louise in all it's splendor,
Where the trees and Rockies touch the sky above,
I got to British Columbia and heaven,
...
Canadian Pacific,
Carry me three thousand miles
Through the valleys and the forests,
To the sunshine of her smile

Heads/Sides, Promenade Half-way around now …,
Lead to the Right, and do the Right & Left Thru
Veer Left and then Couples Circulate my friend
Chain Down the Line & turn you do
Pass The Ocean ...,
Boys Circulate ... Girls Trade ...,
Swing your Corner round and Promenade
Canadian Pacific
Take me to my baby's arms.

To the sunshine of her smile
