Ian Tyson (born September 25, 1933) is a cowboy folk singer from Alberta, Canada who was born in Victoria, British Columbia.
He and his then-wife Sylvia Fricker constituted one of the most popular folk duos of the 1960s, Ian & Sylvia. Tyson gradually shifted to the cowboy way while still with Sylvia, accentuating the western life through song. Residing on a ranch in southern Alberta, Tyson tours all over the west.

But our g[D]ood times, all are g[G]one, and I'm b[A7]ound for movin' [D]on, I'll look [Em7]for you if I'm e[G]ver back this w[A]ay.
Think I'll [D]go down to Alb[Em]erta, weather's g[A7]ood there in the f[D]all, Got some friends that I can [Em7]go to workin' [A7]for. Still I w[D]ish you'd change your m[G]ind, if I a[A7]sked you one more t[D]ime, But we've b[Em7]een through that a h[G]undred times or m[A]ore.
{C:Chorus.}
If I get there 'fore the snow flies, and if things are goin' good, You could meet me if I sent you down the fare. But by then it would be winter, not much for you to do, And those winds sure blow cold, way out there.
