Rita MacNeil, genuine and warm.
In a former time
She was Belle of the East
Chanteuse Cape Breton
And Celtic the Feast.
Mellow her alto voice
Mellow her mien
Praising the salty air
Bracing and clean.
Praising the miners brave.
Down to the deep.
Men who would sing with her
Rather than sleep.
Lyrics to grab at hearts
Music to charm.
Never a nasty thought
Never no harm.
