Lyrics

The lovely endless fields of fens and forests
Don’t you know
All this lies before us
Oh, Ontario!

I learned to sing to an outboard motor
Oh, Ontario!
Still a ways away when you’re crossin’ the border
Go as far as you can go
Go as far as you can go

And we’d sing all night by the glow of the firelight
Oh, Ontario!
Smoke in your hair and a song for the dawnin’ light
Far as you can go
As far as you can go

We’re just down from the town was founded by my cousin
Oh, Ontario!
Now we’re back, attackin’ by the dozen
That’s as far as you can go
That’s as far as you can go

One day I followed Capn. Hudson
Oh, Ontario!
When the big waves come at you all of a sudden
That’s as far as you can go
That’s as far as you can go

My daddy was a kind of a Lindbergh cowboy
Oh, Ontario!
Hoppin’ lake to lake all the way back to Buffalo
As far as you can go
Well, that’s as far as you can go

Now Chris’s old man was livin’ breathin’ Shakespeare
Oh, Ontario!
Gave Polonius’s speech from the end of the old pier
As far as you can go
That’s as far as you can go

So, Wilso pick up your brought lap-steel and play
Oh, Ontario!
Sure we’re gonna keep it in a major key
‘Cause that’s as far as we want to go
As far as we want to go

Now I learned to sing to an outboard motor
Oh, Ontario!
Still a long way away when you’re crossin’ the border
Go as far as you can go
Go as far as you can go
