Four Strong Winds

Neil Young

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 ask 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
Then I’m bound for movin’ 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 lookin’ good
You could meet me if I send 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.

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don’t change come what may.
The good times are all gone
So I’m bound for movin’ on
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way.

Still I wish you’d change your mind
If I ask you one more time
But we’ve been through that 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
Then I’m bound for movin’ on
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way.
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way.

Be on my side, I’ll be on your side
There is no reason for you to hide
It’s so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride

You take my hand, I’ll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It’s impossible to make it today.
