[Verse 1]
East of beautiful Alberta
North of old Montan'
The living's fine, when the springtime's kind
To a bovine-raisin' man
[Verse 2]
Well, they sort 'em, and stretch 'em, and tail 'em down
Like they did in days gone by
And good slab fence, and common sense
Are ne'er in short supply
[Verse 3]
The iron still hits the fire
And the rope's thrown straight and true
And they scorch their hides, 'til upon their sides
The brand is showing through
[Verse 4]
And the spring time turns with the coulee's curve
And it's summer once again
"Whoopi-ti-yi-yo" at thе rodeo
And we pray our buddies win
[Chorus]
It's wеstern swing and waltzes
Like to wear out your boots
It's horsehair floors, and Louis L'Amour
After they close the chute
Well, they've rode up all the rank ones
And the chucks are out of sight
It's western swing and waltzes
In Saskatchewan tonight
[Chorus]
It's western swing and waltzes
Like to wear out your boots
Well, it's horsehair floors and Louis L'Amour
After they close the chute
When they've rode up all the rank ones
And the chucks are out of sight
It's western swing and waltzes
In Saskatchewan tonight
[Outro]
It's western swing and waltzes
In Saskatchewan tonight
