Will My Soul Pass Through The East Coast?
 
In A Dreary Foreign Prison
Sat A Young And Scared Canadian Boy
For A Crime They Found Him Guilty
And The Judge Said "You Must Die"
By His Side, A Priest Was Standing
Father Will My Soul Be Lost?
I'm So Far From Home and Loved Ones
Will My Soul Pass Through The East Coast?
 
Will My Soul Pass Through The East Coast
Through New Brunswick, The Land So Free
There's So Much I Want To See There
Will The Good Lord Really Wait For Me
Will I See Prince Edward Island
Will I Touch The Sandy Shore
Oh, Father, Tell Me Truly
Will My Soul Pass Through The East Coast?
 
Will I Pass Through Nova Scotia
Will I See Cape Breton Isle
Will I See Familiar Faces
I Remember As A Child
Will I Pass Through Old Newfoundland
Will I See The Mighty Fishing Boats
Oh, Father, Tell Me Truly
Will My Soul Pass Through The East Coast?
 
Was For The Love Of The East Coast
In The War My Father Died
And I Swear By All Its People
I'm Not Guilty Of This Crime
Would You Please Write To My Mother
Tell Her That My Soul's Not Lost
Will I See My Mama's Cabin
Will My Soul Pass Through The East Coast?
 
I Pray God Will Let Me Linger
At Mama's Door, Down In The East Coast.
