[Lyric] The Lovenant Chain (Willie Dunn)

[Verse 1]
Once upon a cufflink chain
You were inconsiderate
But we were strong and numerous
And allowed the boys to speak
With peace and trade with friendship
Around the campfires we
And we fastened your ship to the lovenant chain
[?]
Brother we can't recall a day
When one can say you were meek

[Chorus]
Those were the days of friendship
We all lived side by side
You with your old [?]
We with our [?] pride
Those were the days of friendship
We struggled in the rain
When toil was the upshot
And the down shot was the pain
We rolled in [?]
Goes back a long, long time
When at first you landed here
[?] Love its salty brine
[Verse 2]
We're the ones who describe
Who [?]
When showing its shrine
With a glimpse of the walls of his castle
And the sky [?] of his pride
Down space of the prairie
Where the whitened buffalo stock [?]

[Verse 3]
Those were the days when the rage of war
And the blade decreased our [?]
When the French and Dutch when to the musket balls
[?] on the rise
And later revolution came
