Текст песни: So Long Saskatchewan + перевод

Five hundred acres, fence and cattle guards

A combine and a bailer, a windmill and a barn

Driving up the home road for the last time

Trying not to look back and trying not to cry

Turn off the gravel at the school bus stop

Twenty-nine fence posts to the mailbox

A few miles of range road and a little prairie town

I used to know everybody here but there’s no one left around

So long Saskatchewan they’re tearing the elevators down

So long Saskatchewan they’re pulling the stakes out of the ground

Farm for sale forward my mail, so long Saskatchewan

Pier twenty-one in Halifax port

Father’s own father first came ashore

A Westbound arrival with a ticket in his hand

A C.P.R. handbill advertising farm land

At the station in Weyburn first blizzard storm

The love of a young bride burning warm

They built a life out on the land and they broke the ground

It’s a good thing they’re not here today to see it now

I’ll miss the railroad line

West to Saskatoon

Counting the hopper cars

When the grain trains roll through

Gophers in the back field where the Caragana grew

And a rusty old Moline down by the slough

Red-tailed hawk and barbed wire, silos in a row

And so I bid farewell to the land that I have known
