Woman of Labrador

Woman of Labrador, children 'round your cabin door
 Wondering when their daddy will be home
 He's gone on the trapping line
 Seems like such a long, long time
 Since he waved his last farewell and left you alone
 Woman of Labrador, turn your mind to daily chores
 Hunting and catching fish to feed your family
 At night when they're all in bed
 Go outside and raise your head
 Watch the northern lights go dancing far over the sea
 Woman of Labrador, those days are here no more
 Wonder if your baby will ever understand
 The hardships that you endured
 When everyone you knew was poor
 Sharing everything they had and living off the land
