Lyrics
Flowing to the sea
The shore in front of me
It’s where I want to be
Northwest Miramichi
Salmon jumping leaving rings
A bear swims in front of me
Eagles fly by gracefully
Northwest Miramichi
And I once called it home
Where the tides rise and fall
Each day a new scene
Never failing to please
Oh no
Otters sliding on the snow
On thin ice where fishers go
Then the boats come and go
While bagpipes ring out
Flowing to the sea
The shore in front of me
It’s where I long to be
Northwest Miramichi
And I once called it home
Where the tides rise and fall
Each day a new scene
Never failing to please
Oh no
