The Land God Gave to Caine

Pat and Joe Byrne

A G A

Long before the white man came to haul the shining cod,

D G A

When the wild and stately Caribou traversed the snow clad south.

D G A

The native man he walked these hills and he fished the silvery lake.

G A

Content with what the land would yield not one bit more would take.

A G A

But soon the word it was put out from every country,

A G A

To find a northern passage from the sea to the shining sea.

D G A

The first to come were the trappers then the men who God do preach

G A

That they would return in hundred fold an equal share to each.

A G A

For years the men of Newfoundland; those fishermen so bold,

set out each year at spring-time for to fish on the Labrador,

D G A

But soon the fish they were all gone with the fur it was the same,

G A

And the natives suffered silently in the land God gave to Caine.

A G A

Well years went by and as time past the companies grew thin,

D G A

For Ore and wood and the Hydropower the struggle did begin.

D G A

The working men on both sides tried to live their lives the same,

G A

And the natives suffered silently in the land God gave to Caine.

A G A

And now its for the future both sides do share the fear,

D G A

The old ways they are passing like the Caribou and hare,

D G A

And now they all are wondering if it was all in vain,

G A

And the natives suffered silently in the land God gave to Caine
