Winnipeg

How's the weather in Winnipeg?

The broke-down nags with the bandaged legs

At Assinboa Downs?

The night we painted the town A dark, dark blue

Stolen Thunder in Thunder Bay

Woke up knowin' that we came the wrong way

So we turned it all around

To the cold hard sound

To the turnin' of the gears

To the blood hard sound

The turnin' of the years



I was thinkin' of you last night

North of the border in the Northern Lights

One horse town with the Indian name

And all the gentle words

I could never say

Love shines in the night

In the morning it's gone away



Cup of coffee in old Moose Jaw

Used to be the hideout of a bad outlaw

Named Al Capone His fedora on

Walkin' in the snow

We headed west, then it all broke up

Skull-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump

Rockin' and a reelin'

That old buffalo feelin'

Of fallin' through the air

And never really knowin' how the hell

We ended up there



I was thinkin' of you last night

North of the border in the Northern Lights

One horse town with the Indian name

And all the gentle words

I could never say

Love shines in the night

In the morning it's gone away



How's the weather in Winnipeg?

When the ice melts

On the first of May

On those desolate streets

One old Sikh

In a powder blue cab

Is there an Indian name

For the love and trouble we had?



I was thinkin' of you last night

North of the border in the

Northern Lights

One horse town with the Indian name

And all the gentle words

I could never say

Love shines in the night

In the morning it's gone away
