Johnny Cash - Girl In Saskatoon lyrics
[Johnny Cash - Girl In Saskatoon lyrics]
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
