Saskatchewan Lyrics - Craig Cardiff

saskatchewan winter night 

and the bar's jammed clear 

they're thinking of the summer slump 

sun drought rain fear 

saskatchewan 

tractors frozen to the ground 

on account of all the snow 

the men sit at the bar and drink 

to hockey night in toronto 

the mother holds her baby closer against her chest 

she's waiting for you to come home with this week's cheque 

last week you drank it all 

the week before that too 

the week before that one 

you lost it on the balls and cues... 

saskatchewan... 

and everybody drinks 

because there's no work 

because there's no rain 

summer time is holding; 

flies called back to work again 

we all know you're leaving 

we all know you've left 

greyhound scars that build themselves 

tighten in the chest 

saskatchewan
