lyrics

At The Head Of The St. Lawrence River
Words and Music by
Tom Ward
SOCAN 1992

At the head of the St. Lawrence River,
Lake Ontario waves her good-bye,
As she kisses the shores that lie just to her north
And her roar whispers down to a cry.

At the head of the St. Lawrence River
Lies a city carved out of her stone.
She holds strong to her past as her future is cast.
She's where John A. McDonald,
Our country's first leader called home. Oh,

Kingston is my kind of city
She's a jewel in Ontario's crown.
She's got so much to give to the people who live
In the city with the heart of a town.

At the head of the St. Lawrence River
Old Fort Henry stands guarding her shores,
As she was in the past, she's a symbol who'll last
Of our heritage, courage and more.

At the head of the St. Lawrence River,
Where the great Thousand Islands disperse,
Kingston opens her doors to those searching for more;
She's the greatest place that you might find
On the face of the earth. And,

Kingston is my kind of city
She's a jewel in Ontario's crown.
She's got so much to give to the people who live
In the city with the heart of a town.

Kingston is my kind of city
She's a jewel in Ontario's crown.
She's got so much to give to the people who live
In the city with the heart of a town.
