The Huntsville Fire by Tamarack

Intro: 

            
Well, April 1894

Out behind May's hardware store
                                                                                                  
Burning a little garbage in an old coal oil barrel

Southeast wind...

Flames....        
                                       
Soon the whole of Huntsville is in peril

Verses are the same throughout.

Chorus:
                                   
From the banks of the Muskoka
                                                                               
We watched as the smoke and the flames laid Huntsville low
                                               
If you took all the tears that we shed on that pier
                                                               
You'd think we could've put that fire out but no
                                                              
We just stood and watched that little town go.


Bridge:
                                                 
You know that fire can tear a town apart
                                                 
Don't let that fire break Huntsville's heart

Interlude:   

Then a last chorus finishes it off.
