Lyrics:

oh love of the north with a dream in his hand
my love has come home to this beautiful land
and he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun
and his kit-bag all full of the treasures he's won

a bottle, a broom, an old foreign tale
the shell of a clam, and the jaws of a whale
my kitchen is full of the smell of the sea
and all the fine things that my love brings to me

come gather your treasures, a garden in bloom
and bring them along to our sweet little room
with the sun in the morning ablaze on your chest
my love has come home from the north or northwest

oh love of the north with a dream in his hand
my love has come home to this beautiful land
and he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun
and his kit-bag all full of the treasures he's won
