Girl From Saskatoon

Verse I left a little town, a little south of Hudson Bay I couldn't find a thing, to make a rounder want to stay I fought the wind across the barren waste in the crystal dunes Going for to marry the girl from Saskatoon Verse I'm glad, I realized that no one could take her place My heart was beating for her like the winter beat my face But knowing that I'd see her made my spirit bright as June I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon Verse South and West and following the cold December sun I bedded down in the Carragana when my daily trek was done Then up and pressing onward by the light of the morning moon A prodigal returning to the girl in Saskatoon Verse Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow I made the final miles where the prairie lilies grow The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon Verse But my journey was forgotten when I held her in my arms My wanderlust was stifled by possession of her charms And kneeling neath the steeple where we couldn't wait till June I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon
