Lyrics
Calgary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I rolled into town it was raining
You met the bus but you brought along a friend
You introduced me to him but I guess I looked right through him
I didn't come all the way to Calgary just to see you with another man
It's a long way out here from Nova Scotia and your new love wasn't part of my plan
But I knew from your smile you'd be with him for a while
I didn't come all the way to Calgary just to see you with another man
[ banjo - dobro ]
I guess I'll be leaving tomorrow for home I'll try to forget you if I can
I don't stand a chance if I don't know to dance
I didn't come all the way to Calgary just to see you with another man
[ ac.guitar ]
I didn't come all the way to Calgary just to see you with another man
