lyrics

Come look to the lee...Out there in the rising mist
It's land that I see - hold your course boys and we'll drift
1783 the coming of the loyalists who founded Shelburne town

They landed on the shore and they settled in the wilderness
Allegiance they swore to uphold the royal interests
And so forever more they became the loyalists who founded Shelburne town

They brought their dreams and their strength and talent
Far across the wind-swept foam
Their hopes were high and their hearts were gallant, and at last they had found a home

Those first years were long with hardships and loneliness
But they carried on with courage and willingness
Until good fortune shone - shone down on the loyalists, who founded Shelburne town

They brought their dreams and their strength and talent
Far across the wind-swept foam
their hopes were high and their hearts were gallant
and at last they had found a home

Look back through the years historians and journalists
Pay tribute to them here - the builders and the blacksmiths
The true pioneers - the ones called the loyalists who founded Shelburne town...

The millers and the carpenters the woodsmen and the weavers, Shelburne town
The farmers and the fishermen the tradesmen and the teachers, Shelburne town
The merchants the soldiers the drifters and the dreamers
Yes, they founded Shelburne town

Come look to the lee

Naming The Twins image

Naming The Twins Shelburne, Nova Scotia

Naming the Twins is the Nova Scotia based guy gal duo of Robbie Smith & Kath Glauser who sound a little bit like Peter, Paul and Mary if one of the fellows took the night off, a bit like Simon & Garfunkel if Art was a girl, a bit like Gordon Lightfoot or Stan Rogers if either had a girl harmonizer.
Not twins by birth, but twins at heart, they share a sibling like sense of humour and harmony. ... more
