girl in saskatoon [personal file version] - johnny cash lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
the late johnny horton was one of my best friends and i remember one night, after the show we played in saskatoon, saskatchewan, we were driving that old car across the* the snow, across the ice, the icy roads, going down to regina, i believe. and driving along that night, without accompaniment, we wrote and sang, for the first time, this song

[verse 1]
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 and the crystal dunes
going for to marry thе girl in saskatoon

[verse 2]
south and west and following the cold decеmber sun
i bedded down in the caragana when my daily trek was done
then up and moving onward by the light of the morning moon
i’m freezing but i’m burning for the girl in saskatoon

[verse 3]
then, i found the trail that had packed beneath the snow
i made the final miles where the prairie lilies grow
i walked into a boarding house and i got myself a room
then, i started asking about the girl in saskatoon

[verse 4]
well, they told me that she had waited, but then, she had gone away
to look for me in a little town a little south of hudson bay
my wanderl*st was over, it went like the morning moon
left me freezing but burning for the girl in saskatoon
