Gordon Lightfoot
Couchiching
[Verse 1]
There's a town they call Orillia
It is there of which I sing
It is just above Lake Simcoe
By Lake Couchiching

[Chorus]
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching

[Verse 2]
Across the raging narrows
Casino Rama stands
Where there once were only sparrows
People come from other lands

[Verse 3]
To the west lie hills aplenty
If skiing is your thing
You can while away the summer
By Lake Couchiching

[Chorus]
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching
[Verse 4]
In Orillia they had movies
And sports and music, too
And all around the shoreline
Were the folks that we all knew

[Chorus]
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching

[Verse 5]
Now I've spent my life in travel
Now I've spent my life in dust
Now I've spent my life in family
Now I've spent my life in trust

[Verse 6]
Any way you'd like to cut in
It'll hit you with a ping
When you think about Orillia
And it's by Lake Couchiching

[Chorus]
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching
[Verse 7]
When I get my final slumber
When I pawn my diamond ring
I will do my final number
By Lake Couchiching

[Chorus]
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching, Couchiching, by Lake Couchiching
Couchiching
