Come hell or high rivers, come droughts or come blizzards
The horses of Calgary will buck.
Through blood, sweat and water, ain't nothin' will stop us
The horses of Calgary will buck.
VERSE
The banks of the rivers have crumbled, and the currents uprooted the trees.
But through my eyes no city, has looked quite as pretty,
as when Cow-Town rose up from it's knees
Chorus
Come hell or high rivers, come droughts or come blizzards
The horses of Calgary will buck.
Through blood, sweat and water, ain't nothin' will stop us
The horses of Calgary will buck.
VERSE
Last year we all threw the party, but things kinda all got submersed.
We'll remember the hundred-and-first.
Chorus
Come hell or high rivers, come droughts or come blizzards
The horses of Calgary will buck.
Through blood, sweat and water, ain't nothin' will stop us
The horses of Calgary will buck.
SOLO (Just like verse)
BRIDGE
The banks overflow, the bow in Elbow.
But the horses of Calgary will buck.
And when the water subsided, I saw with some pride,
that the horses of Calgary will buck.
For all the surrounding ranch-land and small towns,
the horses of Calgary will buck.
For our Blackfoot relations or Siksika Nation,
the horses of Calgary will buck.
Through volunteer labours, through friends and through neighbours,
through blood, sweat and water, through the Mayor, his honour,
Through flood and downpoor, a city made sure,
that the horses at Stampede will buck.
Chorus
Come hell or high rivers, come droughts or come blizzards
The horses of Calgary will buck.
Through blood, sweat and water, ain't nothin' will stop us
The horses of Calgary will buck.
OUTRO
Well it will take more to stop 'em, then a little high water
