Intro
A#m A#m F# G# A#m x2
[Verse 1]
A#m F# G#
Well, I go by the name of Henri LeBlanc
A#m Fm
And trapping is my trade.
A#m F# G#
Now, my daddy was French and my momma was a squaw;
A#m G# A#m
I was born in the hem-lock shade.
[Chorus]
F# D#m
Forty-four years in the northern woods
C# Fm
From Quebec to Hudson’s Bay,
A#m F# G#
Forty-four years in the northern woods
A#m G# A#m
Where the bear and the bea-ver stay.
Transition
A#m A#m F# G# A#m
[Verse 2]
A#m F# G#
Well, it ain’t very warm in November’s storms;
A#m Fm
Still, it’s off to the traps I’ll go
A#m F# G#
And the whistle of the jay in the trees on the way
A#m G# A#m
Breaks the hush of the fall-ing snow.
[Chorus]
F# D#m
From my piney log shack with my traps on my back
C# Fm
To the hills of evergreen,
A#m F# G#
A#m
The music that I know is the north wind’s blow
A#m G# A#m
And the cry of the wolve-rine.
A#m A#m F# G# A#m
[Verse 3]
A#m F# G#
When it’s early in the spring and the high geese sing
A#m Fm
Heading up to the northern Grounds,
A#m F# G#
When it’s early in the spring and the river breaks up
A#m G# A#m
With a moaning, groan-ing sound
[Chorus]
F# D#m
Then it’s off on the road with my furs in a load
C# Fm
For the ladies around the town.
A#m F# G#
Well, they’ll look very nice for a very fine price
A#m G# A#m
And be warm when the wind blows down.
[Bridge]
C# G#
And my life goes along like a song and a river
F# G#
Flowing down along the way.
C# G#
Through the months and the years and the smiles and the tears
F# G#
I find a friend in every day.
[Verse 4] (In French)
A#m F# G#
Je suis connu par le nom LeBlanc
A#m Fm
Et je suis un trappeur.
A#m F# G#
Fils de francais, ma mère était indienne,
A#m G# A#m
Je suis né sous les épinettes.
[Chorus]
F# D#m
Quarante-quatre ans dans les bois du nord
C# Fm
De Québec jusqu’à bay d’Hudson,
A#m F# G#
Quarante-quatre ans dans les bois du nord
A#m G# A#m
Où se trouve le grand élan.
[Chorus] (Back in English)
F# D#m
Forty-four years in the northern woods
C# Fm
From Quebec to Hudson’s Bay,
A#m F# G#
Forty-four years in the northern woods
A#m G# A#m
Where the bear and the bea-ver stay.
[Outro]
