Train to Algonquin <br />
(words and music by Don Charbonneau) <br />
<br />
<br />
Last train left this morning Algonquin bound <br />
got all my gear inside that old boxcar. <br />
I’ll be staying with some friends <br />
down at Mowat’s Lodge <br />
Shannon Fraser and his wife <br />
will take good care of us. <br />
<br />
I could tell you how many steps there are <br />
On that Tea Lake Portage <br />
I could tell you how the wind moves <br />
the light on the maple trees <br />
I could tell you how soft the snow is <br />
when it first settles on the ground <br />
I could tell you how I felt <br />
the first time I heard a loon call. <br />
These are things I know about. <br />
<br />
I could tell you about that big one <br />
I missed at the Tea Lake Dam <br />
I could tell you how the pine trees look <br />
With a spring rain on their bow <br />
I could tell how a partridge sounds <br />
When it’s drumming in the fall <br />
I could tell you about a sunset <br />
I once saw on Georgian Bay. <br />
These are things I know about. <br />
<br />
Last train left this evening<br />
bound for Owen Sound. <br />
This will be Tom’s last train ride <br />
Back to his home town. <br />
