Way up north, where the snow flies
and the sun don't hardly shine
If it weren't for, my true love
I'd have long ago lost my mind
I'd have long ago lost my mind
{Verse 2}
When the river runs over from the melting snow
we will take to the higher ground
when the water goes down again, we'll saddle our old paint
we'll be homeward bound
me and my love will be homeward bound
{solo} play verse
