The Shining Birch Tree Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh ye girls in the village, ye girls in the town
It's a long time, a very long time
For a fella who's after bein' out on his own, out on his own
Where the whisky jack's a-whistling cheerful and free

[Refrain]
In the land of the muskeg and the shining birch tree
The shining birch tree

[Verse 2]
Now it's all very well in the full of the day
When there's no time, not very much time
For a man to keep thinkin' of the things that don't pay, the things that don't pay
Where the rapids are rushing so grand and so free

[Refrain]
In the land of the muskeg and the shining birch tree
The shining birch tree

[Verse 3]
But in the quiet of thе evening when thе camp settles down
And the night is cold, so very cold
And old Rory Bory starts shiftin' around, shiftin' around
Then he'll think of the warm lips and the laughter so free

[Refrain]
In the land of the muskeg and the shining birch tree
The shining birch tree

[Verse 4]
Come the in-between seasons of the freeze-up or the thaw
And it's let's go, hey, look out let's go
For we're off for some fun with the girls in the town, the girls in the town
He's a popular guy when his money flows free

[Refrain]
From the land of the muskeg and the shining birch tree
The shining birch tree

[Verse 5]
And when the huskies are a-howlin' in the cold winter's dawn
Then he'll recall, oh how he'll recall
That he spent all his money with the girls in the town, the girls in the town
So, boys, save your money or you'll all be like me

[Refrain]
In the land of the muskeg and the shining birch tree
The shining birch tree
