I took my love down to Summerstown

On the banks of the Seaway

Where the big ships go by

On the banks of the St. Lawrence River we lie

On the banks of that river so wide

And when we hear the winter turn

In the sound of the blackbirds cry

I'll take my love down to Summerstown

And when we see the springtime turn

To a cloud in the summer sky

I'll take my love down to Summerstown

And when we feel the summer turn

On the wind that the leaves will fly

I'll take my love down to Summerstown

And when we hear the autumn turn

In the northern wind's cold cry

I'll take my love down to Summerstown
