Intro: C 

          G            C      G 
I took my love down to Summerstown 
       C            F                C            G 
On the banks of the Seaway where the big ships go by 
       C            F              C        G 
On the banks of the Saint Lawrence River we lie 
       C             G        C 
On the banks of that river so wide 


            G        C      G 
And when we hear the Winter turn 
       C                       F 
In the sound of the blackbirds cry 
     C       F            C      G 
I'll take my love down to Summerstown

On the banks of the Saint Lawrence River we lie

On the banks of that river so wide 


            G       C          G 
And when we see the Springtime turn 
     C                   F 
To a cloud in the summer sky 
     C       F            C      G 
I'll take my love down to Summerstown 
       C            F                C            G 
On the banks of the Seaway where the big ships go by

On the banks of that river so wide 


            G        C      G 
And when we feel the Summer turn 
       C                         F 
On the wind that the leaves will fly 
     C       F            C      G 
I'll take my love down to Summerstown 
       C            F                C            G 
On the banks of the Seaway where the big ships go by 
       C            F              C        G 
On the banks of the Saint Lawrence River we lie 
       C             G        C 
On the banks of that river so wide 


            G        C      G 
And when we hear the Autumn turn 
       C                   F 
In the Northern winds cold cry 
     C       F            C      G 
I'll take my love down to Summerstown 
       C            F                C            G 
On the banks of the Seaway where the big ships go by 
       C            F              C        G 
On the banks of the Saint Lawrence River we lie 
       C             G        C 
On the banks of that river so wide
