Gordon Lightfoot – Couchiching lyrics

There’s a town they call Orillia, it is there of which I sing
It is just above Lake Simcoe, by Lake Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching

Across the raging narrows, Casino Rama stands
Where there once were only sparrows, people come from other lands
To the west lie hills aplenty if skiing is your thing
You can while away the summer by Lake Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching

In Orillia, they had movies and sports and music too
And all around the shore line were the folks that we all knew

Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching

Now I’ve spent my life in travel, now I’ve spent my life in dust
Now I’ve spent my life in family, now I’ve spent my life in trust
Any way you’d like to cut in, it’ll hit you with a ping
When you think about Orillia and it’s by Lake Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching

When I get my final slumber, when I pawn my diamond ring
I will do my final number by Lake Couchiching

Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching
