I came back from Alberta with no money, no money at all
I came back from Alberta with no money, no money at all
The oil well suits rubbed their ink across my name
I lost all they gave me in their poker game
I came back across the prairie with no honey, no honey at all
I came back across the prairie scape with no honey, no honey at all
The sweetness of her heart was deafened in the sour-gas rain, I can never set my foot across that line again
Intimate embrace fled back to the coast
Now I have returned with nothing for to boast
With no honey, no honey at all
With no money, no money at all
I came back from the grasslands rather swiftly, oh so fast
I came back from the tar sands rather quickly, it couldn't last
The brilliant winter sun whipped its wind across my face
The hitching home return has put me in my place
Change rings a bell deep in sacrifice
My confidence was strong, but this has gone and, this has changed my, this has gone and changed my way of life
With no honey, no honey at all
With no money, no money at all
With no honey, no honey at all
With no money, no money at all
