O Canada, you took me in Just beneath your native skin To the land we both belonged to years ago O pal of mine, how young it was Mountie you and Yankee cuz Dog days, adolescent fuzz Distortion, gain, delay O Canada, you took me in You took me in You took me in O Canada A summer long, a lakefront green The profile of departed queen Sat sweating by mosquito screens In doors upon the wild You gave your heart, I deigned a glance It seemed so plain, but you got fancy Saw through it You were still a child O Canada, you took me in You took me in You took me in O Canada In my pocket, getting warm Like August in November In my pocket, getting warm A value-vacant ember O Canada O Canada, your penny buys Not much more than a pair of eyes Red and cold like dragonflies That troll the lake at dawn That's how much our stories earn Worthless as a mountain fern Summer glows for Fall to burn For Fall to burn O Canada, you took me in You took me in You took me in O Canada, you took me in You took me in You took me in O Canada
