Verse
A E A
I left a little town, a little south of Hudson Bay

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

My heart was beating for her like the winter beat my face

But knowing that I'd see her made my spirit bright as June

I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon

South and West and following the cold December sun

I bedded down in the Carragana when my daily trek was done

Then up and pressing onward by the light of the morning moon

A prodigal returning to the girl in Saskatoon
Verse

Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow

I made the final miles where the prairie lilies grow

The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon

I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
Verse

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

My wanderlust was stifled by possession of her charms

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

I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon
