lyrics
He raised to flags every morning
stars and stripes and the maple jack
one for him and one for his wife and after the heart attack
he still walked out and down the hill and gave that cord a tug
stars and stripes for his country a maple leaf for the one he loved
and she’s a strong minded woman
Canadian pioneer stock
he was a city boy who loved his toys
and they spent their summers by the ferry dock in Wisconsin
and it reminds her of home where humming birds feed
and blue jays scree just like Ontario
And the years rolled on pushed along
by that cruel old master time
she held him close and loved him dear as he slowly lost his mind
and he passed on in chicago illinois
she was again a nineteen year old country girl in love with a city boy
and he still sleeps beside her, it’s strange but it feels the same,
when she stops breathing in her sleep she swears he calls her name
and those two flags still fly every morning, sure as the rising sun
a maple leaf for her country stars and stripes for the one she loves
