From Goat Island's shores
Where satyrs dance so free
Half human
Half a goat
Ancient history
Manitou trolls beneath the lunar light
A pact was born to end their endless fight
Trolls gathered timbers
Old and strong and wise
Through millennia of conflict
Saw their ties
Bridge born from treaties
Born from earth and rye
In 1912
They crossed those wooden sighs
Oh
Ferry 'cross the waters
Tales of lore and fight
Where satyrs dance by moon and trolls built in the night
From Goat Island
Whispers carried on the breeze
To Manitoulin's heart
Where spirits find their ease
Oooooh yoooddoleleedlldaa
OoOooh yoooodiddidlllaadaaeese
OooOOooh yyaaadooooheyeehehaaa!
OoOoooOohhhh, Where spirits find their ease
Before the swing bridge
The ferries braved the waves
Carrying tales of creatures men could not enslave
Satyrs in the forest
Echoes through the trees
Goat Island's secrets
Guarded by the leaves
Trolls and satyrs
Truce beneath the moon
Building bridges
Humming ancient tunes
Timbers and treaties
Worn by time and wind
History etched in woods
Where trolls have sinned
Now Manitoulin stood
With pride in every beam
Connecting hearts and lands
Like waking from a dream
Goat Island watched
With satyrs smiling wide
As trolls' old hands laid wood along the tide
Oh
Ferry 'cross the waters
Tales of lore and fight
Where satyrs dance by moon and trolls built in the night
From Goat Island
Whispers carried on the breeze
To Manitoulin's heart
Where spirits find their ease
Oooooh yoooddoleleedlldaa
OoOooh yoooodiddidlllaadaaeese
OooOOooh yyaaadooooheyeehehaaa!
OoOoooOohhhh, (Where spirits find their ease)
Oh
Ferry 'cross the waters
Tales of lore and fight
Where satyrs dance by moon and trolls built in the night
From Goat Island
Whispers carried on the breeze
To Manitoulin's heart
Where spirits find their ease
Oooooh yoooddoleleedlldaa
OoOooh yoooodiddidlllaadaaeese
OooOOooh yyaaadooooheyeehehaaa!
OoOoooOohhhh, (Where spirits find their ease)
