song for the mira . . song about A 55km river in cape breton , nova scotia
folk song by : allister macgillivray

D G D
out on the mira on warm afternoons
A D G A
old men go fishing with black line and spoons
D G D
and if they catch nothing they never complain
A D
and i wish i was with them again

G D
the boys in their boats call to girls on the shore
A D G A
teasing the ones that they dearly adore
D G D
and into the evening the courting begins
A D
and i wish i was with them again
chorus :
G D
can you imagine a piece of the universe
A D
more fit for princes and kings
G D
i’ll trade you ten of your cities
E A
for marion bridge and the pleasure it brings

D G D
out on the mira on soft summer nights
A D G A
bonfires blaze to the children’s delight
D G D
they dance round the flames singing songs with their friends
A D
and i wish i was with them again

G D
and over the ashes stories are told
A D G A
of witches and werewolves and oak island gold
D G D
the stars on the river they sparkle and spin
A D
and i wish i was with them again

chorus :
G D
out on the mira the people are kind
A D G A
they’ll treat you to homebrew and help you unwind
D G D
and if you come broken they’ll see that you mend
A D
and i wish i was with them again

G D
but now i’ll conclude with a wish you go well
A D G A
sweet be your dreams and your happiness swell
D G D
i’ll leave you here for my journey begins
A D
and i’m going to be with them again
A D
yes i’m going to be with them again
chorus :
