When the pioneers came to Canada many years ago
The hardships they endured we will never know
Their families were in the old country many miles away
And they were thought of as they toiled each lonely day
There were no roads tv or cars there around
They carried loads on their backs before sitting down
He walked the trail until he found his stakes
So there his house he knew he could make
With an axe and saw he cleared the land
Yes it was all forest but we don’t understand
The thick trees didn’t let the sun shine through
So did he think cutting these trees I must do
He chopped the trees which fell to the ground
Then soon he had a clearing there around
They squatted on the land until up to government standards
Then for the deed they went after working so long
In the spring around the stumps they planted seeds
So in the winter they had food to supply their needs
At first he made a cabin with only one room
\Which was done quickly as winter was coming soon
Each day from early morning until bedtime at night
Hard work they done to get things set up right
Things they wore or ate was all homemade
As there was no time to sit in the shade
The neighbours were few and many miles away
So the fire was kept going even on a hot day
The clothes were washed in a tub and hung on a tree
Where they would dry there in a little breeze
God was in their thoughts from morning until night
So why don’t we do the same only following what’s right
How many of us could live like this now days
But if a depression comes we will learn these ways
