C                          G           C 
In St.John New Brunswick a city by the sea 
C                                  G  
There is a girl, who's longing for me 
C                    F                    C  
She waits everyday , she's waiting for my call 
C                             G             C                   
Way up on the hillside by the old Reversing Falls

C                                G           C 
Her eyes are like diamonds, they sparkle for me

I can see them shining far across the sea

There's a rose in her hair, she's just like a doll

My little darling is calling me

I can hear her song on the lonesome prairie  
C                       F                C 
In my dreams I can see, reversing waters fall

I'm going back to answer my little darlings call

Back to my darling , back to my home

I know she'll be lonesome waiting for my call 
C                             G             C 
Way up on the hillside by the old Reversing Falls
