about

This song is dedicated to my Grandma Irene who's stories about growing up on the prairies in our home province of Saskatchewan inspired this song and so much more! We also made a fun video to go along with this tune that can be found on our youtube channel (youtube.com/aprilmoon)

lyrics

Left my Mama's cabin that night
Before I knew the smell of the river
Papa played his fiddle for me
Round the stove for my sisters three
Raven started singing Papa's song
Well oh, oh, come on down
Down to the chapel to pray with me
The lord hath taken away

Sent to the witch of ol' Moose Jaw town
To the granary with the house all built around
The crone she rolled them bones for me
Told me curses come in threes
That night lightning struck her to the ground
Well oh, oh, gather near
Gather near the blaze my friend
The lord hath taken away

Away, away, the lord hath taken away
Away, away, the lord hath taken away

Saw his face at the old town hall dance
Flawless grace in his movement
Fell in love but it was too late
He hopped aboard the westbound freight
To pick that BC fruit so far away
Well oh, oh, sit and sigh
Dream he'll find his girl again
The lord hath taken away
