Well, I'm long gone to [A] Saskatchewan, [C] long gone to Saskatchewan
Well, the gettin's good if you're gettin' [D] gone
I'm gonna put my boots [Bm] and my hat back on
[C] Cause I'm long gone [G] to Saskatchewan, long gone to Saskatchewan
I lived a hell of a battle to try to raise cattle in the prettiest place on the hoof
[D] Oil refiners and lots of dividers and land [B] prices right through the roof
[Gm] They got value [D] distorted and my brow [G] off the floor with the words that the banker just wrote
[A] Me and the missus, we love the cow business, good jobs [D] if you keep us [G] afloat
The [D] old lady's a waitress in three different [G] places and still can't afford her own car
[D] I've been drivin' greater, I'm a smooth operator, wonder where all [Gm] the gravel roads are
[D] [G] Well, [D] I like Alberta, but dang ain't [G] you heard of how much it cost to buy oats?
Well, I'll [D] always love her and think kindly of her, but I got no money left over for smokes
[G] Well, I'm long gone to [A] Saskatchewan, long gone to [C] Saskatchewan
Well, the gettin's good if you're gettin' [D] gone
I'm gonna put my [Bm] boots and my hat [C] back on
Adios, goodbye, farewell, so long
I'm long [G] gone to [C] Saskatchewan, long [G] gone to Saskatchewan
She's a little bit flatter, but the cows are as fatter
So I think I'm gonna get me a tent
[D] Cause I can buy up an acre [A] beside a nice lake here
What cost me home, but just [D] rent
Sure, the winters are tough and the roads get [G] rough
We might have to feed a bit more
[D] And it's further to ship than [A] if it isn't good cow country, [E] that's for sure
[D] I can miss my foothills here and still drink my [G] pills
And then bitch and complain and surmise
[D] About [A] missing the mountains, but hey, [D] look who's counting
My place here is five times as large
[G] Well, I'm long gone to [A] Saskatchewan, long gone to [C] Saskatchewan
