So most of them have winter houses in the Bahamas and Florida and they just escape, you know, to all the warm places like Philadelphia. When winter comes along and the farms are all harvested and they don’t really have much to do if they don’t keep cattle.
#Vagrant song lyrics how to#
So, it really knows how to change out there - talk about going through changes. But in the winter it sometimes gets as low as 50 and 60 below zero. In the summer it gets as hot as 110 degrees sometimes. This song is all about winters in Saskatchewan and uh, it gets pretty cold out there. That was for sale of lead sheets or something. Got my first royalty check the other day – for $15. With the help of Mr Chet Atkins and a couple of electric Carters they came up with a song that was a version of my song with a narration and all sorts of wonderful things in it. It caused a little bit of controversy and came to the attention of a country singer named George Hamilton the 4th who I saw back in 1957 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with Brenda Lee and an all-star rock and roll cast singing A Rose and A Baby Ruth. Now I am going to venture very cautiously into standard tuning in my country hit of 1967, which had sort of a minor success on Elektra Records by a friend of mine named Tom Rush. It’s call the Urge for Going." Joni introduced the song this way at Gerdes Folk City in October of 1967: But then the rest of us poor old common folk up there have to sit and suffer through.Īnd that was what I had in mind when I wrote this song but I think it means different things to different people. They just complain and say “I wish I was in Florida" and the farmers and the people who are wealthy enough do go down to Florida or some island for the winter. Some people think that they’re frozen stiff but that’s not really true. So when the winter sets in it really sets in and drops down to about 50 below and all the people sit around and complain a lot, but they never really do anything about it. In Saskatoon or in Saskatchewan – or on the prairies for that matter, that includes the American prairies - the winters and the summers are very radical with the temperature varying as much as 150 degrees in a season. You get that from picking Saskatoon berries. The Saskatoon itch and all that kind of stuff.
It’s a song that was inspired by the part of the country that I come from, a place called Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which really isn’t a disease although I’ve seen it in some medical journals. I like to plug it because I get royalties on the song of course. It has been recorded as a single by a friend of mine by the name of Tom Rush and it’s available in the area.
Joni introduced the song this way on Novemat the Wisdom Tooth: Joni collaborated with Lisa and John Sornberger by making these changes for presentation in their book, Gathered Light. This lyric has been formatted exactly as Joni preferred it to appear (capitalization, punctuation, line breaks, changes in wording, etc). Now the warriors of winter give a cold triumphant shoutĪnd all that stays is dying all that lives is gettin' outįlapping and racing on before the snow.Īnd have her stay for just another month or so. And all the trees are shivering in a naked row.Īnd summertime is falling down and winter is closing inĪnd summertime was falling down and winter was closing in
