Runnin' Back to Saskatoon (Live at the Paramount Theater, Seattle WA - May 1972)

Spoken:

There's a province up in Canada that's right next door to ours. It's called Saskatchewan. And, uh, in that province there's a small town, uh, where nothing much ever happens, called Saskatoon. This is a tune about that town. This is called "Runnin' Back To Saskatoon"

I been hangin' around gas stations

I been learnin' 'bout tires

I been talkin' to grease monkeys

I been workin' on cars

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too

Runnin' back to Saskatoon

Red Deer, Terrace and Medicine Hat

Sing another prairie tune

Sing another prairie tune

I been hangin' around libraries

I been learnin' 'bout books

I been talkin' to play writers

I been workin' on words, phrases

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too

Runnin' back to Saskatoon

Red Deer, Terrace and Medicine Hat

Sing another prairie tune

Sing another prairie tune

I been hangin' around hospitals

I been learnin' 'bout dyin'

I been talkin' to heart doctors

I been workin' on disease

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too

Runnin' back to Saskatoon

Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat

Sing another prairie tune

Sing another prairie tune

This tune is home grown

Don't come from Hong Kong

This tune is home grown

Don't come from Hong Kong

I been hangin' around grain elevators

I been learnin' 'bout food

I been talkin' to soil farmers

I been workin' on land

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too

Runnin' back to Saskatoon

Red Deer, Terrace and Medicine Hat

Sing another prairie tune

Sing another prairie tune

I been hangin' around camera stores

I been learnin' 'bout sight

I been talkin' to film makers

I been workin' on eyes

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too

Runnin' back to Saskatoon

Red Deer, Terrace and Medicine Hat

Sing another prairie tune

Sing another prairie tune

This tune is home grown

Don't come from Hong Kong

This tune is home grown

Don't come from Hong Kong
