Byrne Pat And Joe - Land God Gave To Caine слова песни
The Land God Gave to Caine Pat and Joe ByrneA G ALong before the white man came to haul the shining cod, D G AWhen the wild and stately Caribou traversed the snow clad south. D G AThe native man he walked these hills and he fished the silvery lake. G AContent with what the land would yield not one bit more would take.A G ABut soon the word it was put out from every country, A G ATo find a northern passage from the sea to the shining sea. D G AThe first to come were the trappers then the men who God do preach G AThat they would return in hundred fold an equal share to each.A G AFor years the men of Newfoundland; those fishermen so bold, D G Aset out each year at spring-time for to fish on the Labrador, D G ABut soon the fish they were all gone with the fur it was the same, G AAnd the natives suffered silently in the land God gave to Caine.A G AWell years went by and as time past the companies grew thin, D G AFor Ore and wood and the Hydropower the struggle did begin. D G AThe working men on both sides tried to live their lives the same, G AAnd the natives suffered silently in the land God gave to Caine.A G AAnd now its for the future both sides do share the fear, D G AThe old ways they are passing like the Caribou and hare, D G AAnd now they all are wondering if it was all in vain, G AAnd the natives suffered silently in the land God gave to Caine.
