Artist's Notes
Seguin Falls is a ghost town in Seguin Township, Ontario, Canada. When the railway was still running, it was a station point on the track from Ottawa to Arnprior to Renfrew to Parry Sound. There is a small waterfall there on the Seguin River.
Lyrics
SEGUIN FALLS SERENADE
Lyrics by Alex O'Brien; All Rights Reserved
Seguin Falls, serenade
Her eyes were sapphire diamonds
Her voice was angel made
La, l-a la, la, la la, La, la la, la, la
La, la-la-, la, la la, La, la la, la, la
La la la, la la, la la la la
He came from a faraway valley
In Renfrew he hopped on the train
To see his Seguin Falls
Songstress again and again
They sat on the rocks by the falls
And made plans forevermore
They walked up the Nippissing Road
And discovered what lips are for
Seguin Falls, serenade
Seguin Falls, serenade
Her eyes were sapphire diamonds
Her voice was angel made
La, l-a la, la, la la, La, la la, la, la
La, la-la-, la, la la, La, la la, la, la
La la la, la la, la la la la
They turned the bush into farmland
They had a girl and a boy
They swatted at the black flies
Their days were filled with joy
And then the Great War did call him
He left to play his role
They stole from her, her one true love
But they couldn't destroy his soul
Seguin Falls, serenade
His eyes were emerald diamonds
His memory never fades
She still lives in that farmhouse
For our freedom he paid the cost
She taught their kids to honour
All the good men that were lost
She still sits on the rocks by the falls
And tells him her plans forevermore
Together they bask in the sunshine
And curse the bloody war
Seguin Falls, serenade
Seguin Falls, serenade
Their dreams were rough cut diamonds
As big as their hearts were brave
Oh, o-h oh, oh, oh oh, Oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh, Oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
