Land of the silver shore
Home of the eagle
West to the mighty wood
Want to the shore
Blue like a rocky shore
I will return once more
Boom did ee oughta boom boom boom

This sounds very much like a traditional Canadian folk song called "Land of
the Silver Birch".

The lyrics are:

Land of the silver birch,
home of the beaver,
Where still the mighty moose wanders at will.

Chorus: Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more. Boom didi eye di
boom didi eye di boom didi eye di boom.

My heart is sick for you, here in the lowlands,
I will return to you hills of the north.

Chorus

Swift as a silver fish, canoe of birch bark
Thy mighty water ways carry me forth.

Chorus

There where the blue lake lies,
I'll set my wigwam
Close to the water's edge, silent and still

Chorus

Hope that is helpful. I learned this song recently from a sister Girl Scout
leader.

That is it, my cousins in North Minnesota 70 miles north of Duluth used
to sing it

Blue lake and rocky shore


I will return once more

boom diddy boom boom

High on a rocky ledge
I'll build my wigwam
close by the water's edge
silent and still

(chorus)

That's all I can remember
