Alberta

I came back from Alberta with no money, no money at all I came back from Alberta with no money, no money at all The oil well suits rubbed their ink across my name I lost all they gave me in their poker game I came back across the prairie with no honey, no honey at all I came back across the prairie scape with no honey, no honey at all The sweetness of her heart was deafened in the sour-gas rain, I can never set my foot across that line again Intimate embrace fled back to the coast Now I have returned with nothing for to boast With no honey, no honey at all With no money, no money at all I came back from the grasslands rather swiftly, oh so fast I came back from the tar sands rather quickly, it couldn't last The brilliant winter sun whipped its wind across my face The hitching home return has put me in my place Change rings a bell deep in sacrifice My confidence was strong, but this has gone and, this has changed my, this has gone and changed my way of life With no honey, no honey at all With no money, no money at all With no honey, no honey at all With no money, no money at all
