Lyrics
The Ballad of Tom Thomson <br />
( all words and music by Don Charbonneau) <br />
<br />
In the early dawn July 8th 1917 <br />
Tom got into his grey canoe <br />
and paddled out of sight. <br />
He paddled himself into another life. <br />
<br />
Don’t be afraid when you see that light come shining <br />
It’s just another life you’re passing through <br />
It’s just another life you’re leaving behind. <br />
You’ve done that a thousand times <br />
You’ve done that a thousand times. <br />
<br />
Some folks say Tom came to no good <br />
on that fateful day that he should’ve of never drowned. <br />
We’ll never know just what went down <br />
those folks they’re not around. <br />
<br />
Don’t be afraid when you see that light come shining. <br />
It’s just another life you’re passing through <br />
It’s just another life you’re leaving behind. <br />
You’ve done that a thousand times <br />
You’ve done that a thousand times. <br />
<br />
In the early dawn you’ll hear the jiibyad call <br />
Calling Tom – calling Tom back home <br />
Calling Tom back home. <br />
<br />
Don’t be afraid when you see that light come shining. <br />
It’s just another life you’re passing through <br />
It’s just another life you’re leaving behind. <br />
You’ve done that a thousand times. <br />
You’ve done that a thousand times. <br />
You’ve done that a thousand times. <br />
