lyrics

Strong farmer lads we're wanting,
That's what the paper said,
The soil is soft and fertile, it'll keep your children fed,
His face lit like a beacon. Sold at once was he,
If you love me then you'll follow,for it's Canada for me.

Chorus Look at me now, I'm a thousand miles from home,
On board the Metagama, ploughing through the foam,
My heart it aches for Lewis, my mother and my dad,
But I'd cross the rolling ocean, for my handsome farmer lad,

He told me I was beautiful, when I was just sixteen,
A rose cannot compare with you
My darling sweet Christine,
I was caught hook line and sinker,
By his good looks and his charm,
And now I'm bound for Canada,
And working on the farm

Chorus

I'm not alone upon this voyage.
There's me and hundreds more,
The wild Atlantic Ocean is the opening of the door,
Prosperity is waiting. There's riches to be had,
But I struck gold the day I met my handsome farmer lad.

Chorus
