Alberta Bound
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.
Oh the prairie lights are burning bright
The Chinook wind is a-moving in
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound
Though I've done the best I could
My old luck ain't been so good and
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound
No one I've met could ever forget
The Rocky Mountain sunset
It's a pleasure just to be Alberta bound
I long to see my next of kin
To know what kind of shape they're in
And tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound
Chorus:
Alberta bound Alberta bound
It's good to be Alberta bound
Alberta bound Alberta bound
It's good to be Alberta bound
Oh the skyline of Toronto
Is something you'll get onto
But they say you've got to live there for a while
And if you got the money
You can get yourself a honey
With a written guarantee to make you smile
But it's snowing in the city
And the streets and brown and gritty
And I know there's pretty girls all over town
But they never seem to find me
And the one I left behind me
Is the reason that I'll be Alberta bound
Chorus:
