The Canadiana Folksingers
Once was part of a folk group
About fifty years ago
Just before that group from England
Took over the whole damn show
You known, that famous foursome
Blew us out of the water
Folk scene died almost immediately
They wiped us up with a blotter
Fantastic time the six of us had
Not a money making gig for sure
The bunch of us had the time of lives
On TV, an album, a tour
Looking back with very fond memories
Gave us such an inner peace
Singing many times in old folks homes
Appreciative beyond belief
Sure you wouldn't have heard of us
The Canadiana Folksingers, we were
Proud as hell to have been a member
Those days now are just a blur
