[Verse]
A E A
I left a little town, a little south of Hudson Bay
B7 E
I couldn't find a thing, to make a rounder want to stay
A A
I fought the wind across the barren waste in the crystal dunes
E A
Going for to marry the girl from Saskatoon
[Verse]
E A
I'm glad, I realized that no one could take her place
B7 E
My heart was beating for her like the winter beat my face
A D A
But knowing that I'd see her made my spirit bright as June
E A
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
[Verse]
E A
South and West and following the cold December sun
B7 E
I bedded down in the Carragana when my daily trek was done
A D A
Then up and pressing onward by the light of the morning moon
E A
A prodigal returning to the girl in Saskatoon
[Verse]
E A
Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow
B7 E
I made the final miles where the prairie lilies grow
A D A
The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon
E A
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
[Verse]
E A
But my journey was forgotten when I held her in my arms
B7 E
My wanderlust was stifled by possession of her charms
A D A
And kneeling neath the steeple where we couldn't wait till June
E A
I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon
