Girl In Saskatoon Lyrics - Personal File - Johnny Cash

I left a little town 

A little south of Hudson Bay 

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

I fought the wind across the baren waste in the crystal doom 

Going for to marry the girl in Saskatoon 

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 prodical returning to the girl in Saskatoon 

Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow 

I made the final miles where the prairie lillies grow 

The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon 

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

My journey was forgotten 

When I held her in my arms 

My wonderlust was stiffled 

By possesion of her charms 

And even beneath the steeple 

Where we couldn't wait till June 

I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon
