I seem to tumble in the wind I wait for it to begin When i look at you I ain't too proud to say I once loved a girl this way I bring trouble on my lonesome self I see danger in each offered help Times are hard The money just won't come through I would be alone if not for you They brought me in on a flatcar Down from old hong kong Tried to tell me what i was doing Was absolutely wrong Tried to make me over Into a man of steel But i knew i would have to kneel From the plains of alberta With its wheat so wild and strong I rolled over the Northlands Till i came to saskatchewan From a hardback in my satchel I read the words quite clear Hurry home to your loved ones now Wintertime is near I seem to tumble in the wind I wait for it to begin When i look at you I ain't too proud to say I once loved a girl this way
