  • I am born and bred in a Vancouver suburb starting in 1953. I lived the life Ian is singing about and he tells the story just as it really was back in the day. When I listen to him I still see the mamoth trees that we felled and loaded onto the massive logging trucks. They don't make them like that anymore. It was truly an experience to behold.

  • I first heard this on the radio up north by the "border". Never heard o' Ian before. In fact I really never thought about cowboys in Canada until then ( and after bein' around some buckaroo's :) He shore is good, and uh ...... well lot's o' us fellers go into town to make a "decent" livin' fer our families ....... sometimes fer years :(

    just good, purty work!

  • too the 2 numnuts' for posting negative comments. Go hang yourselves Vegetarians? Muslims...........

  • Thanx for posting this.My best friend lives in Kingston.

  • just getting into Ian lately, can't believe I didn't discover him earlier, he's phenomenal.

  • What a story this ballad tells! Ian is such a great story-teller with his music --

  • I saw Ian in concert about 10 years ago, all acoustic, awesome sound, I have always loved Ian Tyson's music, and I miss Sylvia.

  • @cyrilmajor This song was included on Ian and Sylvia's 1967 album "So Much For Dreaming". I actually prefer that original version since I'm an acoustic fanatic. I've song this song for many years now. But Ian is still Ian, even electrified, and this song is beautifully done.
