Saskatchewan

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

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...
