.....

Think I'll go out to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends that I could go to working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind,
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through this a hundred times or more
..
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
..
If I get there before the snow flies, and if things are looking good
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare
But by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there....

I only like a couple of his songs but I have enjoyed going to Canada on many occasions. I have a very good friend of 27 years who lives there. He sometimes sends me Coffee Crisps and butter tarts - 2 of my Canadian favs.

The butter tarts sound yummy. I had to google them and found out they are Canada's quintessential treat thumbs up

I believe him to be a musical genius.
He also purchased Lionel Trains to keep that toy company afloat. So he's a kid at heart.
And most recently married Darryl Hannah. Not bad for a guy who didn't age well.

Here is another version... I like this song...

Neil Young performs Ian Tyson's "Four Strong Winds" with Willie Nelson and Mickey Raphael at the Farm Aid concert in Louisville, Kentucky on October 1st, 1995. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.
