Hello Joan MacIsaac fans. I have just got the words to Harvest Excursion however I am not clear on a couple of lines. The one is where she sings...'as the land of the golden ???? I think it is pelt but not sure. And last verse, third line. Anybody know these for sure? Here are the words from listening to the song. Thanks for any help you can give. Oh...and if you have the chords that would be FANTASTIC!


HARVEST EXCURSION - Joan MacIsaac

Oh, hark and listen to the whistle of the train.
We're pulling from the station for the land of the golden grain,
But when we return again our friends will drink our health,
But there's no place here with such cheer, as the land of the golden pelt.

O Molly dear, I greatly fear that soon I will be gone.
I'm going away on a harvest train, to the far Saskatchewan.
Streets of rain on the western plan, where the Buffalo used to roam,
And I leave you alone in your island home, my dear Colleen bawn.

O Molly dear, when night is here and I am far away,
With willing heart you'll do your part and for me you will pray.
When the pigs are fed, they go to bed and the kids play on the lawn,
Then you heave a sigh for your absent boy, in the far Saskatchewan.

O Molly dear, dry up your tears. I'll soon be home again
With pockets lined with the gold I find in the fields of the golden grain,
And never more I'll go a soar in the far Saskatchewan
And leave you here, my Molly dear, in your little island home.

Oh, hark and listen to the whistle of the train.
We're pulling from the station and we're homeward bound again,
And when we do return gain, our friends will drink our health,
For there's no place here where there is such cheer,
As the land of the golden pelt...Land of the golden pelt.
