Girl From Saskatoon

Written by Johnny Cash/Johnny Horton

	  		
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
