Couchiching
Gordon Lightfoot

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 Cououchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching Couchi(Am)ching

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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 it, it'll hit you with a ping
When you think about Orillia and it's by Lake Couchiching

CHORUS


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