A playful adaptation of Oakie from Muskogie by Merle Haggard and The Strangers.
Lyrics:
A Pot Head From Canada
(To the tune of Okie From Muskogee)
D A D
D
We smoke marijuana in Canada
A
A safe and natural way of getting high
A
We like to share a spliff with our neighbours
D
We like smoking pot and getting high
D
We are good and loving people
A
We like giving hugs and shaking hands
A
We like to let our hair down when we party
D
We like smoking pot and getting high
D
I’m proud to be a Pot Head from Canada
A.
A place where even squares can share a joint
A
We still sing the Maple-leaf Forever
D
We like smoking pot and getting high
Flip flops in summer, boots in winter
Beer and beads are not uncommon
Hockey’s still the greatest sport around
We like smoking pot and getting high
I’m proud to be a Pot Head from Canada
A place where even squares
can share a joint
We still sing the Maple-leaf Forever
We like smoking pot and getting high.
Outro
Yeah, proud to be a Pot head from Canada.
