Randy Newman - Northern Boy lyrics

LORD: In Ottawa, there is a custom Before the boy becomes a man He takes a drop of Northern courage And swears he'll do the best he can He swears he'll do the best he can DEVIL: Oh Northern boy As thick as a tree As dull as a bu*ter knife LORD: Oh Northern boy Clean of limb, clear of eye Unfettered he lives, unfettered he'll die The Nothern boy Oh, Nothern boy Saskatchewan An endless prairie Where the buffalo used to roam DEVIL: Only a man Half-blind on whiskey Would choose to make This land his home Would choose to make This land his home LORD: Oh, Northern boy As strong as an oak As quick as a thunderbolt To adventure he'll rise The Northern boy Can be gentle as a lamb DEVIL: And just like a sheep he will follow you Whenever he can The Northern boy LORD: The Northern boy The Northern boy
