A Very Popular Canadian
Folk Song
Four Strong Winds
Written
by Ian Tyson,
performed by the Searchers
[Chorus:]
Four strong winds that
blow lonely
Seven seas that run
high
All those things that
don't change come
what may
But our good times are
all gone
And I'm bound for
moving on
I'll look for you if
I'm ever back this way.
Think I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in
the fall
Got some friends that I
can go to working for
Still I wish you'd
change your mind
If I asked you one more
time
But we've been through that a hundred times or
more.
If I get there before
the snow falls
And if things are going
good
You could meet me if I
sent you down the fare
But by then it would be
winter
There ain't much for
you to
do
And those winds sure
can blow cold
way out there.
[Chorus]
