An old Canadian folk song recorded by Wade Hemsworth in the 1950s. It's about his experience working in Northern Ontario, though you might guess that from the lyrics. This is one of my favorite songs to play, though there are a few problems areas in my version of it.
I'm doing the version that he rerecorded for a great animated short.

  • Thanks! There are a few roughs spots in there, but there's such dense lyrics I have trouble getting it perfect. Thanks for the background too. I was always curious what he was talking about specifically.
