Four strong winds that blow lonely seven seas that run high
All these things that don't change come what may
But my good times are all gone and I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

I may go out to Alberta weather's good there in the fall
Got some friends that I could go to workin' for
Still I wish you'd change your mind if I asked you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more

[ guitar ]
If I get there before the snow flies and things are looking good
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare
But if we'll wait until it's winter it would do no good
For the winds sure can blow cold way out there

Four strong winds that blow lonely...
