Sioux Sault Marie, be sweet to me
I ain't the dude I used to be
I curved hockey sticks on the curb in the street
And Sioux Sault Marie be sweet
That's when I was living on college pay
450 a week, 65 a day
These days I would not, but back then I might
‘Cause when I look at it now it's the same light
Let us now praise simple men
Without whom the work may never end
My and my brother and all his friends
Let us now praise simple men
And let us not regret our goodness of heart
They told me ‘you ain't got the money, boy, don't even start'
These days I would not, but back then I might
‘Cause when I look at it now it's the same light
The same light
