The Life of a Voyageur (Full Version)

I finally found the third verse. Enjoy!

The life of a voyageur
That of a sojourner
Travelin' around and 'round
But not from town to town
Paddles the lakes and streams
Follows his distant dreams
Peace on the waterways
Clear skies or cloudy days

CHORUS
My heart has but one home
From which I'll never roam
Land of true happiness
Canadian wilderness

The call of the lonely loon
Coyotes howling at the moon
Wind rustlin' through the trees
That's the Canadian breeze
Smoke rising from the fire
Up through the trees whose stately spires
Reach to the sky in the evening glow
Sun goes down no Northwinds blow

CHORUS

The still waters of the morn
Reflect one lonely soul
Paddlin' so silently
So not disturbed by he
Waters so pure and fresh
Untouched by human flesh
His life is rough but good
This is his chosen home

CHORUS

Do you have the tabs for this song? I'm looking for them so my son can learn to play this before going back to camp this summer. Thanks!

I learned this one at Gunflint Wilderness Camp, north of Grand Marais, MN in 1974 or 1975.

Thanks!

I sang this song in the Minnesota wilderness 25 years ago and it touched me.

Well played!

Congratulations and thanks from Brazil.
