Girl In Saskatoon Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Intro: [B] [F#] [B]

[B]I left a little town a little [F#]south of Huds[B]on Bay
I couldn't find a thing to make a [C#]rounder want to s[F#]tay
I [B]fought the wind across the barren [E]waste and the crystal [B]dunes
Goin' for to marry the [F#]girl in Saskatoo[B]n

I'm glad I realized that no [F#]one could take her p[B]lace
My heart was beatin' for her like the [C#]winter beat my f[F#]ace
But [B]knowin' that I'd see her made my [E]spirit bright as [B]June
I'm freezin' but I'm burnin' for the [F#]girl in Saskat[B]oon

[A] [E] [A]

South and west and followin' the [E]cold December [A]sun
I bedded down in the caragana when my [B]daily trek was [E]done
Then [A]up and pressin' onward by the [D]light of the morning [A]moon
A prodigal returnin' to the [E]girl in Saska[A]toon

[B] [F#] [B]

Then I found a trail that had [F#]packed beneath the s[B]now
I made the final miles where the [C#]prairie lilies g[F#]row
A [B]steeple on a church glistened [E]by the prairie [B]moon
I'm freezin' but I'm burnin' for the [F#]girl in Saskat[B]oon
But my journey was forgotten when I [F#]held her in my a[B]rms
My wonderlust was stifled by pos[C#]session of her c[F#]harms
And [B]kneeling neath the steeple where we [E]couldn't wait till [B]June
I found eternal spring with the [F#]girl in Saskat[B]oon
