This passed weekend was the Canadian Thanksgiving.  There have been many contributions to folk music by some great Canadian ledgends that I truely love.Ian Tyson and Gordon Lightfoot to name a couple. I will add some of their lyrics in the next few days.  Yesterday was Ian Tyson's Someday Soon. Today is another of Ian Tyson's best, Four Strong Winds. I enjoyed playing all these songs in my shows while I could still sing. Someday soon I hope to be able to sing them again  :-)

FOUR STRONG WINDS

IAN TYSON

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may.
But our good times, all are gone, and I'm bound for movin' on, I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

 Think I'll go down to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall, Got some friends that I can go to workin' 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.


If I get there 'fore the snow flies, and if things are goin' good, You could meet me if I sent you down the fare. But by then it would be winter, not much for you to do, And those winds sure blow cold, way out there.
