Ian Tyson - Alberta´s Child lyrics

Album: All The Good ´Uns (1996)

Well, them ol´ boys in Texas chew copenhagen
Wash it all down with that Coors
Aint a bit bashful about speakin´ their minds
They will tell you what´s theirs & what´s yours
Theres Waylon & theres Willie,
they own about half the state
And sing of her glories all in song
Talk about your lovers & your fighters
wild brahma bull riders
The whole thing takes a holt & goes on

Ride with me Jesus, help me pull this heavy load
Don´t let her slip, don´t let her slide
You answer all our questions further down this muddy road
Old cowboys cross the Great Divide

Well up north it is saddle broncs & it is hockey & honkytonks
Old Wilf Carter 78s
Dumb stuff like chores when it is twenty below
They are the things that a country boy hates
Too much damn wind & not enough whiskey
Drives them ol´ northern boys flat wild
And he many go to Hell or even Vancouver
He will always be Alberta´s child
