lyrics

My Caledonia…so far away
‘Cross the wide ocean… long, long the day
Westward I travel…let go the tears
Farewell Nova Scotia…rain down on the Pier.
From this rolling railyard…watch Canadi-ay
Four days through the wild land… there I will stay.
And so soon shall I see…my marryin’ man
Up on the Altar…a new church in the plan
Where a battered piano…awaits my command
And my Commonwealth soldier…steady’s my hand.
My Caledonia, so far from here
‘Cross the wide ocean… [let go the tear]
