The Guess Who
 Written by Burton Cummings and Kurt Winter

 ~~~~~
 {Spoken}
 There's a province up in Canada that's right next door to ours.
 It's called Saskatchewan. And, uh, in that province there's a
 small town, uh, where nothing much ever happens, called
 Saskatoon.  This is a tune about that town. This is called
 "Runnin' Back To Saskatoon".

 ------ harmonica ------

 I been hangin' around gas stations
 I been learnin' 'bout tires
 I been talkin' to grease monkeys
 I been workin' on cars

 Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too
 Runnin' back to Saskatoon
 Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat
 Sing another prairie tune
 Sing another prairie tune

 I been hangin' around libraries
 I been learnin' 'bout books
 I been talkin' to playwriters
 I been workin' on words, phrases

 Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too
 Runnin' back to Saskatoon
 Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat
 Sing another prairie tune
 Sing another prairie tune

 I been hangin' around hospitals
 I been learnin' 'bout dyin'
 I been talkin' to heart doctors
 I been workin' on disease

 Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too
 Runnin' back to Saskatoon
 Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat
 Sing another prairie tune
 Sing another prairie tune

 This tune is home grown
 Don't come from Hong Kong
 This tune is home grown
 Don't come from Hong Kong

 I been hangin' around grain elevators
 I been learnin' 'bout food
 I been talkin' to soil farmers
 I been workin' on land

 Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too
 Runnin' back to Saskatoon
 Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat
 Sing another prairie tune
 Sing another prairie tune

 I been hangin' around camera stores
 I been learnin' 'bout sight
 I been talkin' to film makers
 I been workin' on eyes

 Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too
 Runnin' back to Saskatoon
 Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat
 Sing another prairie tune
 Sing another prairie tune

 This tune is home grown
 Don't come from Hong Kong
 This tune is home grown
 Don't come from Hong Kong
