Girl in Saskatoon

Lyrics

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 baren waste in the crystal doom
 Going for to marry the girl in Saskatoon
 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
 ♪
 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 prodical returning to the girl in Saskatoon
 ♪
 Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow
 I made the final miles where the prairie lillies grow
 The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon
 I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
 My journey was forgotten
 When I held her in my arms
 My wonderlust was stiffled
 By possesion of her charms
 And even beneath the steeple
 Where we couldn't wait till June
 I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon
