Written by Patrick Hurley of Cassilis, Nor' West Miramichi sometime in the mid 1800's. Originally sung in a minor key, but I made this more toe tappin'

lyrics

It's now I will take up my pen Those verses- for to write.
Concerning of this river I mean for to recite,
For all through Nature's splendors, There's none that I can see
Like the rolling tide that flows 'longside The banks of the Miramichi.
It’s little trout and Salmon Are playing night and day,
The feathered throng assemble Their beauties to display;
And sportsmen there do gather,And all delight to see
Where the rolling tide flows ‘longside the banks of the Miramichi
If I had gold and silver brought some from foreign place
A royal robe put on me and a crown set o’er my face
I would trade it all with pleasure for sooner would I be
Where the rolling tide flows ‘longside the banks of the Miramichi
