[Verse 1]
D#m B C#
Well, I go by the name of Henri LeBlanc
D#m A#m
And trapping is my trade.
D#m B C#
Now, my daddy was French and my momma was a squaw;
D#m C# D#m
I was born in the hem-lock shade.
[Chorus]
B G#m
Forty-four years in the northern woods
F# A#m
From Quebec to Hudson’s Bay,
D#m B C#
Forty-four years in the northern woods
D#m C# D#m
Where the bear and the bea-ver stay.
Transition
D#m D#m B C# D#m
[Verse 2]
D#m B C#
Well, it ain’t very warm in November’s storms;
D#m A#m
Still, it’s off to the traps I’ll go
D#m B C#
And the whistle of the jay in the trees on the way
D#m C# D#m
Breaks the hush of the fall-ing snow.
[Chorus]
B G#m
From my piney log shack with my traps on my back
F# A#m
To the hills of evergreen,
D#m B C#
D#m
The music that I know is the north wind’s blow
D#m C# D#m
And the cry of the wolve-rine.
D#m D#m B C# D#m
[Verse 3]
D#m B C#
When it’s early in the spring and the high geese sing
D#m A#m
Heading up to the northern Grounds,
D#m B C#
When it’s early in the spring and the river breaks up
D#m C# D#m
With a moaning, groan-ing sound
[Chorus]
B G#m
Then it’s off on the road with my furs in a load
F# A#m
For the ladies around the town.
D#m B C#
Well, they’ll look very nice for a very fine price
D#m C# D#m
And be warm when the wind blows down.
[Bridge]
F# C#
And my life goes along like a song and a river
B C#
Flowing down along the way.
F# C#
Through the months and the years and the smiles and the tears
B C#
I find a friend in every day.
[Verse 4] (In French)
D#m B C#
Je suis connu par le nom LeBlanc
D#m A#m
Et je suis un trappeur.
D#m B C#
Fils de francais, ma mère était indienne,
D#m C# D#m
Je suis né sous les épinettes.
[Chorus]
B G#m
Quarante-quatre ans dans les bois du nord
F# A#m
De Québec jusqu’à bay d’Hudson,
D#m B C#
Quarante-quatre ans dans les bois du nord
D#m C# D#m
Où se trouve le grand élan.
[Chorus] (Back in English)
B G#m
Forty-four years in the northern woods
F# A#m
From Quebec to Hudson’s Bay,
D#m B C#
Forty-four years in the northern woods
D#m C# D#m
Where the bear and the bea-ver stay.
[Outro]
