Prairie Girl Gone - Po' Girl[00:00:00]

Written by：Allison Russell[00:00:02]

She was a child of the prairies a daughter of the depression[00:00:05]

Her parents fed the hobos right in the kitchen[00:00:16]

Her daddy was a hard man with few words to spare[00:00:25]

But he was gentle with the Clydesdales[00:00:34]

And always tried to be fair[00:00:39]

He'd been a fourteen year old orphan from Scotland[00:00:44]

With his little brother in tow[00:00:49]

They came to find themselves a better life[00:00:53]

In the land of wind and snow[00:00:57]

A long walk from nowhere they built a farm out of hope[00:01:03]

Great grand uncle never saw it prosper[00:01:13]

He died young at the some[00:01:17]

Long ago and far away[00:01:23]

Long ago just yesterday[00:01:33]

Her mother was a fey one[00:01:42]

She knew the ways of beasts and trees[00:01:46]

When she was joyous the whole world beamed[00:01:51]

When she was sad it grieved[00:01:56]

Great grandpa first saw her[00:02:00]

When she was just a young girl[00:02:05]

He said i will wait for you to grow up[00:02:09]

If you'll be my wife in the new world[00:02:14]

She'd been the pride of her brothers[00:02:19]

Caught on canvas by a famous painter[00:02:24]

She never left her small town in Scotland[00:02:29]

Til she crossed the ocean to live among strangers[00:02:33]

Long ago and far away long ago I'm going yesterday[00:02:40]

My grandma was a smart girl[00:02:58]

She rode her pony star to school[00:03:02]

Studied her way off of[00:03:07]

That farm went to teachers college down in Saskatoon[00:03:10]

She and grandpa married young had four kids one after the other[00:03:17]

But he was an artist trapped inside a teacher[00:03:26]

She was a teacher trapped inside of a mother[00:03:31]

The family moved to Montreal and they slowly fell apart[00:03:35]

Grandma had another baby got her PHD[00:03:45]

Grandpa met another woman who understood his art[00:03:49]

Long ago and far away long ago just yesterday[00:03:55]

Now grandma lives in an old folks home[00:04:32]

It's such a shame 'cause she's still so young[00:04:36]

Sometimes she's scared when friends and family come[00:04:41]

Doesn't know who we are or why we won't leave her alone[00:04:45]

The life she knew's a shadow grown faint and long[00:04:50]

Sometimes it wavers sometimes it's strong[00:04:55]

But I sing the songs she taught to me[00:05:00]

I see her the way that she used to be[00:05:05]

I can still remember all her stories[00:05:09]

I'm her living breathing memory I'm her living breathing memory[00:05:13]

Long ago and far away long ago I'm going yesterday[00:05:25]

Long ago and far away long ago just yesterday[00:05:44]

It's all so long ago I'll see you yesterday[00:06:00]
