Northern Boy Lyrics - Randy Newman

LORD: 

In Ottawa, there is a custom 

Before the boy becomes a man 

He takes a drop of Northern courage 

And swears he'll do the best he can 

He swears he'll do the best he can 

DEVIL: 

Oh Northern boy 

As thick as a tree 

As dull as a butter knife

LORD: 

Oh Northern boy 

Clean of limb, clear of eye 

Unfettered he lives, unfettered he'll die 

The Nothern boy 

Oh, Nothern boy 

Saskatchewan 

An endless prairie 

Where the buffalo used to roam 

DEVIL: 

Only a man 

Half-blind on whiskey 

Would choose to make 

This land his home 

Would choose to make 

This land his home

LORD: 

Oh, Northern boy 

As strong as an oak 

As quick as a thunderbolt 

To adventure he'll rise 

The Northern boy 

Can be gentle as a lamb 

DEVIL: 

And just like a sheep he will follow you 

Whenever he can 

The Northern boy 

LORD: 

The Northern boy 

The Northern boy
