about

A song that wrote itself in front of me
It was a beautiful romantic evening out by Bowron lake
There were yellow canoes on the water
I was fishing for kokanee
I was just learning to play the ukulele
The title came immediately

lyrics

Kokanee Canary Canoe

Hey don’t you brood if your mood is a sourin
Come to the Bowron it’s waiting for you
There neath the moon you will soon stop your glowerin
I’ll take you out in my Kokanee Canary Canoe

There in the night if the bugs start to bite
We’ll just think bout the birds and the bees
There on the lake we’ll partake of the woo
When I’m with you in my Kokanee Canary Canoe

Far from the hustle and bustle we’ll glide away
Into the evening out under the stars
We’ll find the dance of romance in our hideaway
Soon, very soon, very soon

Just you and I and the deep purple sky
As we ponder the wonders of love
Ah - it will seem like a dream has come true
When I’m with you in my Kokanee Canary Canoe
We can skedaddle and paddle and ooo
Plenty of things in my Kokanee Canary Canoe

Kokanee Canary we’ll be makin merry
Kokanee Canary Canoe
