Answer: Canadian Railroad Trilogy

 This wonderful song describes the building of the railroad across Canada.

Answer: Cotton Jenny
3. "Some say he was a sailor who died away at sea."

Answer: Bitter Green

 A very beautiful and sad song.
4. "The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down."

 A wonderful song about homesickness and longing.

 A rather sad love song, but one of my favourites.
7. "You'll find me there with the door shut tight/And the one wish that remains..."

Answer: Baby Step Back

 One of Gordon Lightfoot's "breakup" songs. Very catchy tune.
8. "...Slanted rays and colored days stark blue horizons/Naked limbs and wheat bins hazy afternoons..."

 This has a haunting melody, and the lyrics describe the four seasons of Canada in general, but Southern Ontario in particular.
9. "Is the landlord still a loser, do his signs hang in the hall?"

Answer: Did She Mention My Name?

 Another song about missing your home and loved ones.
10. "Her name was Ann and I'll be damned if I recall her face/She left me not knowin' what to do."

Answer: Carefree Highway

 An interesting play on words because most people remember faces but not names.
