[edit] Sample lyric
And the black flies, the little black flies
Always the black fly no matter where you go
I'll die with the black fly a-pickin' my bones
In North Ontar-i-o-i-o, In North Ontar-i-o
(Note: for artistic effect, the i in Ontario is pronounced as a long i ("eye") sound rather than the "ee" sound normally used in pronouncing the name.)
