Standard (EADGBE)

Out on the Mira on warm afternoons

Old men go fishing with black line and spoons

 And if they catch nothing they never complain

 And I wish I was with them again

 The boys in their boats call to girls on the shore

Teasing the ones that they dearly adore

 And into the evening the courting begins

 And I wish I was with them again

Chorus

Can you imagine a piece of the universe

More fit for Princes and Kings

 I'll trade you ten of your cities

 For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings

Out on the Mira on soft summer nights

Bonfires blaze to the children's delight

 They dance round the flames singing songs with their friends

 And I wish I was with them again

 And over the ashes stories are told

 Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold

 The stars on the river they sparkle and spin

 And I wish I was with them again

Chorus

 Out on the Mira the people are kind

They'll treat you to homebrew and help you unwind

 And if you come broken they'll see that you mend

 And I wish I was with them again

 But now I'll conclude with a wish you go well

Sweet be your dreams and your happiness swell

 I'll leave you here for my journey begins

 And I'm going to be with them again

 Yes I'm going to be with them again

Chorus
