[Verse 1]
When first I did appear upon this native soil
All up and down this country at labor I did toil
I slumbered in the moonlight and I rose with the sun
I rambled through the canyons where the cold rivers run
[Verse 2]
When first I did come down where the land meets the sea
The people said, "Who are you and what would your name be?"
I said, "I have no home and I am no man's son
'Twas inland I was born and from inland that I come"
[Chorus]
In the good land I was young and I was strong
No one dared to call me son
Happy just to see my day's work done
See my day's work done
[Verse 3]
So I swung an axe as a timberjack
And I worked the Quebec mines
And on the golden prairie I rode the big combines
I sailed the maritime waters of many a seaport town
Built the highways and the byways
To the western salmon grounds
When first I did appear upon this native soil
All up and down this country at labor I did toil
I slumbered in the moonlight and I rose with the sun
I rambled through the canyons where the cold rivers run
[Verse 2]
When first I did come down where the land meets the sea
The people said, "Who are you and what would your name be?"
I said, "I have no home and I am no man's son
'Twas inland I was born and from inland that I come"
[Chorus]
In the good land I was young and I was strong
No one dared to call me son
Happy just to see my day's work done
See my day's work done
[Verse 3]
So I swung an axe as a timberjack
And I worked the Quebec mines
And on the golden prairie I rode the big combines
I sailed the maritime waters of many a seaport town
Built the highways and the byways
To the western salmon grounds
