The Blackfly Song

I made an allusion to the "little blackfly" in the post below...it comes from this wonderful Canadian classic, by Wade Hemsworth - The Blackfly Song. This site has the melody and the words. I heard Mr. Hemsworth sing it live years ago at Mariposa. It was a very special experience for me, because his songs simply embody the Ontario northland.
