When I woke up in the Yukon
I knew that I was living
In a country that I could grow to love
But I wandered out of Whitehorse
Took a train down to Prince George
I fianlly left but not without a shove
Sailed day and night
Around Vancouver Island, BC
That's when the west coast
became a part of me
That old full moon looked good
From everywhere I stood
From Hudson Bay
All the way to the Rockies
I'm clearly Canadian
This country always gets the best of me
I'm clearly Canadian
Where stars burn bright
Over snow so white
Under northern lights, you can bury me
I sailed the Arctic Ocean
On my way to Nova Scotia
And I got a taste of the midnight sun
J'ai entendu le voila chante
Je me suis mis a dancer
In french or in english it was fun
J'ai dit salut
and I rode the old St. Lawrence out to sea
Newfoundland was paradise to me
That old moon looked good
From everywhere I stood
From Hudson Bay
All the way to the Rockies
I'm clearly Canadian
This country always gets the best of me
I'm clearly Canadian
Where stars burn bright
Over snow so white
Under northern lights, you can bury me
My memories of Cape Breton
I won't soon be forgetting
Going 'down north' on the
Old Atlantic shore
But I yearned for the flatland
Sweet old Saskatchewan
Had me heading west before too long
Then I made some miles
and caught the Blue Jays flying in the skydome
But I'm finally back in my
Alberta home
That old full moon looked good
From everywhere I stood
From Hudson Bay
All the way to the Rockies
I'm clearly Canadian
This country always gets the best of me
I'm clearly Canadian
Where stars burn bright
Over snow so white
Under northern lights, you can bury me
I'm clearly Canadian
I'm clearly Canadian
I'm clearly Canadian
This country always gets the best of me!
