Busker Alley movie - Paddle Your Own Canoe lyrics

rate me

<br>

I've travelled about a bit in me time, of troubles I've seen a few<br>

I found it far better in every clime to paddle me own canoe<br>

Me wants they are small I care not at all, me debts they are paid when due<br>

I drive away strike from the ocean of life and paddle me own canoe<br>

<br>

And I have no wife to bother me life, no lover to prove untrue<br>

The whole day long I laugh with the song and paddle me own canoe<br>

<br>

So love everybody, trust only the few as the world I go travelling through<br>

And never sit down with a tear and a frown, but paddle your own canoe<br>

I rise with the lark from daylight to dark, I do what I have to do<br>

I'm careless in wealth, I've only me health to paddle me own canoe<br>

<br>

And I have no wife to bother me life, no lover to prove untrue<br>

The whole day long I laugh with the song and paddle me own canoe<br>

<br>

It's all very well to depend on a friend, that is if you proved him true<br>

You'll find it better by far in the end to paddle your own canoe<br>

To borrow is dearer by far than to buy, a saying though old still true<br>

You never will sigh if you only will try to paddle your own canoe<br>

<br>

And I have no wife to bother me life, no lover to prove untrue<br>

The whole day long I laugh with the song and paddle me own canoe<br>

<br>

Though England has ruled our small little land and manys the country too<br>

Just take my advice and never think twice to paddle your own canoe<br>

It's better I say to make your own way as the world you go travelling through<br>

You never will sigh if you only will try to paddle your own canoe<br>

<br>

And I have no wife to bother me life, no lover to prove untrue<br>

The whole day long I laugh with the song and paddle me own canoe<br>

<br>
