Hey,
you can travel all alone
or you can come along with me
walk the old way
walk the old way Saskatchewan
Qu'Appelle valley, Saskatchewan
Hey,
wrap me in your blanket dance me around
take me back to where my heart belongs
Qu'Appelle valley, Saskatchewan

you really noticed that little detail at 2:50? that's amazing. i always thought it was a member of the chorus, but maybe it was buffy herself.

i think i know exactly what you mean - it's so wonderful...

[odovicor]

What a wonderful listener are you. I had noticed that slight incline myself, just one of the many nuances of this wonderful singer. Hey, check out the new video of Buffy, entitled "No No Keshagesh." Thirty years later and she's still moving us toward the gods.

Thank You! I've been searching for this song which went around in my head, heart, and soul, 35 years long, and I'm totally happy that times have changed not always and everywhere to the worse. thanks to youtube, buffy and gewajega

I went to Saskatchewan in 1984, I have friends there. We went for the day to Qu'Appelle Valley. So it's nice hearing a song about somewhere I've been, the fact that it's such a great song is even better.

Love this song because it's about my roots, Payepot Cree Nation in the QuAppelle Valley.
