Soil is rich and there are fish in the river
Corn is growing high
With my wife and my children I came here

On the other side of the continent
A few centuries ago
A Johnny's ship unfurls the sails
Upon the golden shore

Autumn harvest will provide for the winter
Food is stacked up in the shed
With snow on its way, we give thanks to the Lord

Freeze away from the north
Ice and snow but we know
We have a fire to keep us warm and get us by
Until the spring comes to melt the snow

Saffron Robe and Redskin Natives
Living side by side
The wind that brought their views
Spread the seeds far and wide across the land

Soil is rich and there are fish in the river
Corn is growing high
With my wife and my children I came here
