| Her hair was dyed black and she was bending down | |
| Picking something from off the ground | |
| She was seventeen | |
| And he said, "Oh my God, it's Kate" | |
| She said "No, I'm the daughter of Kate | |
| My name is Martha, who are you? | |
| Ma never told me, never told me 'bout you" | |
| He put his big middle-aged hands upon her shoulders | |
| And he looked her in the eyes | |
| Just like a boy of nineteen would do | |
| And she was not afraid | |
| No, she was not afraid | |
| Once upon a time two kids in love in a car were flyin' over mountains | |
| Trying to catch a boat that'd take 'em up river to home... | |
| And they raced the Matapedia | |
| Sixty minutes sixty miles | |
| Thirty minutes thirty miles | |
| Twenty minutes twenty miles | |
| Ten nine eight.... | |
| And I was not afraid | |
| No, I was not afraid | |
| Well we made the boat with minutes to spare | |
| And we crossed on over to the other side | |
| And back home, safe and sound | |
| But I could not slow down | |
| No, I could not slow down | |
| And we raced the Matapedia | |
| Sixty minutes sixty miles | |
| Thirty minutes thirty miles | |
| Twenty minutes twenty miles | |
| Ten nine eight | |
| But I could not slow down | |
| No, I could not slow down | |
| I was not afraid | |
| No, I was not afraid | |
| I could not slow down 'cause I was not afraid |
