Don't Be Denied by Neil Young
When I was a young boy,
My mama said to me
Your daddy's leavin' home today,
I think he's gone to stay.
We packed up all our bags
And drove out to Winnipeg.
When we got to Winnipeg
I checked in to school.
I wore white bucks on my feet,
When I learned the golden rule.
The punches came fast and hard
Lying on my back in the school yard.
On Yonge Street by Gordon Lightfoot
See the people walkin' up and down
See the people movin' all around
On the streets of my hometown on Yonge Street
Longest street in the world they say
Summertime soon slips away
I hope I'll see you one fine day on Yonge Street
Long Long Time to Get Old by Ian Tyson 1969
The eagle's flyin' tomorrow
Mosquito bitin' me today
I ride the bus to Toronto
Highway Two all the way
I take a walk along Yonge Street
Good times are bought and sold
Remember this, children
If the good Lord's willin'
There's a long, long time to get old
Spring Time in Alberta by Ian Tyson
Just like spring time in Alberta
Warm sunny days endless skies of blue
Then without a warning
Another winter storm comes raging through
And the mercury's fallin'
I'm left all alone
Just like spring time in Alberta
Chills me to the bone
Alberta Bound by Paul Brandt
Sign said 40 miles to Canada
My truck tore across Montana
Ian Tyson sang a lonesome lullaby
And so I cranked up the radio
Cause there's just a little more to go
For I'd cross the border at that Sweet Grass sign
I'm Alberta Bound
