C                                   G           C
Ooo, oooo, ooooo, ooooo, oooo, ooo, wah wah wah wahhh

C                             G           C
I left a little town a little south of Hudson Bay

                                  F               G
I couldn't find a thing to make a rounder want to stay

  C                                 F                     C
I fought the wind across the barren waste and the crystal dunes

                       G              C
Goin' for to marry the girl from Saskatoon

                            G                  C
I'm glad I realized that no one could take her place 

                                      F              G
My heart was beatin' for her like the winter beat my face 

    C                                F                C
But knowin' that I'd see her made my spirit bright as June 

                                     G            C
I'm freezin' but I'm burnin' for the girl in Saskatoon

C                                   G           C
Ooo, oooo, ooooo, ooooo, oooo, ooo, wah wah wah wahhh

                                 G             C
South and west and followin' the cold December sun 

                                      F              G         
I bedded down in the caragana when my daily trek was done

     C                             F                    C
Then up and pressin' onward by the light of the morning moon 

                            G            C
A prodigal returnin' to the girl in Saskatoon

C                                   G           C
Ooo, oooo, ooooo, ooooo, oooo, ooo, wah wah wah wahhh

                              G                  C
Then I found a trail that had packed beneath the snow 

                                 F              G
I made the final miles where the prairie lilies grow 

  C                             F              C
A steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon 

                                     G            C
I'm freezin' but I'm burnin' for the girl in Saskatoon 

                                    G              C
But my journey was forgotten when I held her in my arms

                                F              G
My wonderlust was stifled by possession of her charms 

    C                                   F                  C
And kneeling neath the steeple where we couldn't wait till June 

                                G            C
I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon
