Nonie Rider Irish Newfoundland lyrics (177* d) RE: Irish Newfoundland lyrics 26 Sep 97


So, do any of y'all know the source/details on the old camp song about canoeing? (Yes, I did check the database first, without luck.) It went something like:

Swiftly the paddles ply,
flashing like silver,
Swift as the wild geese fly,
Dip, dip and swing.

We were told this was a Newfoundland song, but since it had pretty clearly been passed along a few times, I was never quite sure.

Thanks!

--Nonie
