Westward from the Davis Strait

Ah, for just one time

I would take the Northwest Passage

Reaching for the Beaufort Sea

Tracing one warm line

Through a land so wide and savage
F C G C
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

F C
Three centuries there after
G Am
I take passage over land
F C
In the footsteps of brave Kelsey

Where his "sea of flowers" began

Watching cities rise before me

Then behind me sink again

This tardiest explorer

Driving hard across the plains

And through the night behind the wheel
G Am
The mileage clicking west

I think upon Mckenzie

David Thompson and the rest

Who cracked the mountain ramparts
G Am
And did show a path for me
F C G Am*
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea

Ah, for just one time

How then am I so different

From the first men through this way

Like them I left a settled life

I threw it all away

To seek a Northwest Passage
G F*
At the call of many men
C F G Am*
To find there, but the road back home again

I would take the Northwest Passage
