about

This track partners two re-imagined and beloved Nova Scotia Folk Songs and Canadian Folk Music treasures in an interesting percussive soundscape arranged to develop young children's musical skills. Children can choose to pretend to paddle or do body percussion to the beat, perform the rhythm patterns on traditional or non-traditional instruments, and sing along with harmony parts by following one of the ostinati parts or partner songs.

lyrics

CANOE SONG/ LAND OF THE SILVER BIRCH
Traditional Canadian Folk Songs

Boom diddy boom boom, boom diddy boom boom, boon diddy boom boom boom
Boom diddy boom boom, boom diddy boom boom, boon diddy boom boom boom

My paddle’s keen and bright
Flashing with silver
Follow the wild goose flight
Dip, dip and swing

Dip, dip and swing her back
Flashing with silver
Swift as the wild goose flies
Dip, dip and swing
Dip, dip and swing

Land of the silver birch
Home of the beaver
Where still the mighty moose
Wanders at will
Blue lake and rocky shore
I will return once more

Boom diddy boom boom, boom diddy boom boom, Boom diddy boom boom boom
