Tribute to the Royal Visit of 1939
King George the Sixth, in thirty-nine, Crossed the sea to Canada.
With his dear Queen, right at his side, They journeyed through this fair land.
The people cheered and loudly cried: “The Maple Leaf Forever.”
Our great Dominion, sea to sea, A nation truly blessed.
Chorus
The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
The Maple Leaf Forever!
God Save our Queen and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf Forever
Tribute to the Canadians in the Italian Campaign (1943 – 1945)
In forty-three, the boys set sail, over the sea to Sicily.
Then to the mainland on they went, to the north of Italy.
A hard-fought fight with many deaths, the price for King and Country,
We come to pay them tribute now, Our brave Canadian soldiers.
Chorus
The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
The Maple Leaf Forever!
God Save our Queen and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf Forever

Tribute to the end of the Great War
In 1918, peace at last! Guns fell silent, war was past
The boys came home forever changed, time to think of a fresh new start.
In Flanders Fields, where poppies grow and graves bear silent witness,
To the sacrifice of many young men, who died for King and Country!
Chorus
The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
The Maple Leaf Forever!
God Save our Queen and Heaven bless

We're now one hundred and fifty years old,

A land of great diversity,
Proud dominion truly blessed,

We join as one to celebrate
Our nation's special birthday

Tribute to the soldiers of the
Royal Newfoundland Regiment
to the tune of The Maple Leaf Forever
In 1914, we set sail, o'er the Atlantic's billowing waves
Responding to the Empire's call we fought at Gallipoli.
At Beaumont Hamel, on July the First, our losses were horrific;
On Memorial Day we'll ne'er forget, the sacrifice of so many.
Chorus
The caribou our emblem dear, a tribute to our soldiers
Who gave their lives for their island home,
The Rock of Newfoundland.
Tribute to the soldiers of the
First Contingent of the Canadian Expeditionary Force
to the tune of the Maple Leaf Forever
In 1914, we set sail, o'er the Atlantic's billowing waves
Responding to the Empire's call, we fought on Europe's soil.
The earth turned red, like a maple leaf,
Now poppies grow there ever.
Our nation forged on Flander's Fields
The Maple Leaf Forever!
Chorus
The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
The Maple Leaf Forever!
God Save our Queen and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf Forever.
