Kidnell Katie Pink Canoe lyrics

Katie, The Cariboo Song Rider
Pink Canoe
CHORUS:
Oh don't you go out paddlin' in a pink canoe.
'Cause I've done the same and my story is true.
'Cause if they catch you fishin' in a pink canoe -
Silver-grey motor boats will run over you!

Well out in the Chilcotins on Nimpo Lake,
The fish always jump and the scenery is great.
"Wilderness Rim" is where we'd head to,
Hubby and the scottie and the pink canoe. (CHORUS)

Well Hubby and I, we were paddlin' along,
Thinking to ourselves "Now what can go wrong?"
When silver-grey Lunns with their nine power horse
Started after us on a collision course. (CHORUS)


They had us in a circle we were bouncin' up and down.
They were hootin' and a hollerin' as they went around.
The 'boys' of Nimpo Lake, they like to fish her too.
But they reel in their lines when they see a pink canoe! (CHORUS)

Well someday we may buy us another canoe,
We'll be lookin' at yellow and green
And orange and maybe blue.
But we won't be pickin' out no pink canoe,
'Cause I have seen what those motorboats can do!

Last Line: Motorboats...eat pink canoes!
