lyrics

Back to good old Ocean Falls is where I want to be
All my childhood memories from the town down by the sea
Oh the town down by the sea

At the head of Cousins Inlet nestled there up on the hill
The town where I was born and raised run by Pacific Mills
Run by Pacific Mills

We rarely saw the sun our town was often wet and cold
The folks of Oceans Falls were known as the rain people
We were the rain people

Good old Ocean Falls
Good old Ocean Falls
Oh if I could see it now
To spend a day in my hometown
Take me back to good old Ocean Falls

Every single week day dad was at that paper mill
Workin’ hard from nine to five so he could pay the bills
So he could pay the bills

Mama would stay home and watch us kids as we would play
Doing chores around the house is how my mom would spend her days
How mom would spend her days

As us kids grew older we would have to go to school
Waiting eager for day end so we could head down to the pool
Down to the local pool

Good old Ocean Falls
Good old Ocean Falls
Oh if I could see it now
To spend a day in my hometown
Take me back to good old Ocean Falls

Instead of stone or concrete all the streets were made of wood
In the winter we’d toboggan down as fast as we could
As fast as we could

Summers we spent lots of time up playing by Link Lake
Skipping rocks and catching frogs are memories we would make
They’re memories we would make

As summer would come to a close you’d hear the children sigh
School would start back up again down at Charleson High
Down at Charleson High

Good old Ocean Falls
Good old Ocean Falls
Oh if I could see it now
To spend a day in my hometown
Take me back to good old Ocean Falls

A family of six children I was second from the last
And left sixty eight years ago oh how that time has passed
Oh how that time has passed

That great municipality now crumbled to the ground
my good old home of Ocean Falls now stands as a ghost town
It stands as a ghost town

Though all I have left of my town are wondrous memories
When I think back I still can smell the familiar ocean breeze
Familiar ocean breeze

Good old Ocean Falls
Good old Ocean Falls
Oh if I could see it now
To spend a day in my hometown
I wish that I could be
In that town down by the sea
Take me back to good old
Ocean Falls
