I chanced to meet a strange man Down a Brunswick lane Dressed in brown and a vagabond's cloak A timeless image from the wood I stopped and said to him Before he passed me by "Stranger to these Maritime shores Spare me a moment of your time!" Green Man of East Canada Dark shores of Northumberland Green man, sing, man, of your journey 'cross the waves Green Man of East Canada Dark shores of Northumberland Green man, sing, man, of your journey 'cross the waves I'm no stranger to these lands Though they're not my own I left with the changed tides To call this Brunswick kingdom home Its shores alive with green Its cities cloaked in trees Like the halcyon of my youth Thousands of old summers past Green Man of East Canada Dark shores of Northumberland Green man, sing, man, of your journey 'cross the waves Green Man of East Canada Dark shores of Northumberland Green man, sing, man, of your journey 'cross the waves I wear the emblems of the summer And I bear its pulsing song I carry it through winter I spread it when the snows have gone Across the jagged seas I traveled With the first to cross them And spread my arms across the Richness of these misted lands Green Man of East Canada Dark shores of Northumberland Strange man, sage man, could you teach us of your ways Green Man of East Canada Dark shores of Northumberland Strange man, sage man, could you teach us of your ways
