Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Alberta Bound

Alberta Bound

Alberta Bound

Oh the prairie light is burnin' bright
The chinook wind is moving in
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound
Though I've done the best I could
My old luck ain't been so good
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound

No one I ever met could give
The Rocky Mountain sunset
It's a pleasure just to be Alberta bound
I long to see my next of kin
And see what kind of shape they're in
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound

   Alberta bound, Alberta bound
   It's good to be Alberta bound
   Alberta bound, Alberta bound
   It's good to be Alberta bound

Oh the skyline of Toronto
Is something you get on to
But they say you've gotta live there for a while
And if you've got the money
You can get yourself a honey
With a written guarantee to make you smile

But it's snowin' in the city
And the streets are brown and gritty
And I know there's pretty girls all over town
But they never seem to find me
And the one I left behind me
That's the reason that I'll be Alberta bound
