She is north up on the Soo Line, and I will not see her soon
If I left tomorrow morning, I could be there Sunday noon
But I cannot pay the passage, and I don't make what I owe
I must work here through the winter, for the Boss won't let me go.
In these long, dark nights of winter,
It's for you my heart does long
May the good Lord bless us truly
May our hearts be ever strong
When the season's gone and over, when the Winter's turned to Spring
I will come for you my darling, I will bear a golden ring
We will build ourselves a cabin, we will buy ourselves a farm
When the next year's snows come howlin' I will warm you in my arms
In these long, dark nights of winter,
It's for you my heart does long
May the good Lord bless us truly
May our hearts be ever strong
May the good Lord bless us truly
May our hearts be ever strong
