Home where the river flows Home where the clover grows Home where my dreams keep me longer to be I've been away too long so here's a song For my Cape Breton Home by the sea. Home where the fiddles ring Making the mountains sing Home where the music is calling to me Someday before I die I Will return to my Cape Breton Home by the sea. I'll rosin the bow and go waltzing away To the mountains and glens By The Sweet Margaree I'll play an air for the island so fair And my Cape Breton Home by the sea.
