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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allister_MacGillivray
