Four Strong Winds

Four Strong Winds - John P. Allen/the Bachelor Farmers

Four strong winds that blow lonely,

Seven seas that run high,

All these things that don't change,

Come what may.

But our good times are all gone,

And I'm bound for moving on.

I'll look for you

If I'm ever back this way.

Think I'll go out to Alberta,

Weather's good there in the fall.

Got some friends

That I can go to working for,

Still I wish you'd change your mind

If I asked you one more time,

But we've been through

That a hundred times or more.

Four strong winds that blow lonely,

Seven seas that run high,

All these things that don't change,

Come what may.

But our good times are all gone,

And I'm bound for moving on.

I'll look for you

If I'm ever back this way.

If I get there before the snow flies,

And if things are going good,

You could meet me if I send you down the fare.

But by then it will be winter,

There ain't too much for you to do,

And those wind sure

Can blow way out there.

Four strong winds that blow lonely,

Seven seas that run high,

All these things that don't change,

Come what may.

But our good times are all gone,

And I'm bound for moving on.

I'll look for you

If I'm ever back this way.

I'll look for you

If I'm ever back this way.
