Song for the Mira

'Song for the Mira.' Contemporary folk song in the Celtic style, written in 1973 by Allister MacGillivray. Its lyrics speak of a longing for, and eventual return to, the serenity of the Mira River region of Cape Breton, NS. The song, published by Cabot Trail Music, was included in 1976 by John Allan Cameron on his LP Weddings, Wakes & Other Things (repackaged as Song For the Mira, Glencoe GMI-003). In 1979 'Song for the Mira' was the title piece of a folio of MacGillivray songs issued by New Dawn Enterprises of Sydney. A version released in 1980 by the Garrison Brothers on the LP Songs and Stories (Boot BOS-7214) proved the keynote interpretation locally, establishing the measured quality that has made the song something of an anthem in Nova Scotia. This version is performed with Piano: Andy Slade, Violin: Sarah Tradewell, Bass: Casey Ryder and Tenor: Ken Lavigne Lyrics Out on the Mira one warm afternoon Old men go fishing with black line and spoon And if they catch nothing they never complain I wish I was with them again As boys in their boats call to girls on the shore Teasing the one that they really adore And into the evening the courting begins I wish I was with them again Chorus: Can you imagine a piece of the universe More fit for princes and kings? I'll give you ten of your cities For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings Out on the Mira on soft summer nights Bonfires blaze to the children's delight They dance round the flames singing songs with their friends I wish I was with them again And over the ashes the stories are told Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold The stars on the river they sparkle and spin I wish I was with them again Violin solo Out on the Mira the people are kind They'll treat you to home-brew and help you unwind And if you come broken they'll see that you mend I wish I was with them again And so I conclude with a wish you go well Sweet be your dreams, may your happiness swell I'll leave you here, for my journey begins I'm going to be with them again I'm going to be with them again
