Sammy was a salmon, happy as could be
Living with his brothers in a mountain stream
Living with his brothers and his sisters too
Doing what little salmon do
He'd swim up the stream and swim back down
Find a beaver pond and swim all around
He'd play in the pond all day long
And then he'd sing this song
"I'm goin' home to the stream where I was born
Where the bluebirds sing early in the morn
The little black bears splash and play
And eagles fly in the sky all day
Home to the stream where I belong
Where we love to sing salmon songs
Home to the stream that's home to me
That's where I long to be"
Sammy was a salmon, happy as could be
One spring day he swam to the sea
He swam with his brothers and his sisters too
'Cause that's what little salmon do
He swam in the cove and the salty bay
Swam through the ocean far, far away
He grew very big, he grew very strong
And one day he sang this song
"I'm goin' home to the stream where I was born
Where the bluebirds sing early in the morn'
The little black bears splash and play
And eagles fly in the sky all day
Home to the stream where I belong
Where we used to sing our salmon songs
Home to the stream that's home to me
That's where I long to be"
Sammy was a salmon, happy as could be
Swimming up the river, far from the sea
He swam with his brothers and his sisters too
'Cause that's what big salmon do
He swam over boulders and jumped waterfalls
Swam by a grizzly with his great big claws
Swam many miles, all day long
While he swam he sang this song
"I'm goin' home to the stream where I was born
Where the bluebirds sing early in the morn'
The little black bears splash and play
And eagles fly in the sky all day
Home to the stream where I belong
Where we love to sing our salmon songs
Home to the stream that's home to me
That's where I'll soon be
Home to the stream where I was born
Where the bluebirds sing early in the morn'
The little black bears splash and play
And eagles fly in the sky all day
Home to the stream where I belong
Where we love to sing salmon songs
Home to the stream that's home to me
That's where I'll soon be
That's where I'll soon be
