WOMAN OF LABRADOR
WOMAN OF LABRADOR – By Andy Vine
Woman of Labrador, children 'round your cabin door,
Wondering when your daddy will be coming home;
He's gone on the trapping lines, 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, you go outside and raise your head,
Watch the northern lights go dancing high over the sea.
Daughter of Labrador, those days are here no more,
You wonder if your babies will ever understand
The hardships that you endured when everyone you knew was poor,
Sharing everything you had and living off the land.

Wondering when your daddy will be coming home;
He's gone on the trapping lines, seems like such a long, long time
Since he waved his last farewell, and left you alone.
