about

A Canadiana folk-stomp-backed tale of a woman trying to raise a family she never wanted.

lyrics

You tricked me into your bed,
Shortly after, we were wed,
But, sir, I’m wedded to the pines.
Ain’t it hell?

When I saw where you stood,
My heart split like a piece of wood.
This prairie home’s no home of mine.
Ain’t it hell?

I told you I couldn’t cope,
I told you, I told you,
I hate those winters and that big sky
Oh, I’ll up and run,
I told you, I told you,
Oh I’ll up and run.

I’m stuck among the million fields,
A farmer’s wife and the wife of yield.
As soon as the babies are grown,
I’ll leave this hell.
