Saskatchewan 1928 Jack Hylton

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 02 May 2002

Day is done, beloved one,
as fancy leads my way,
O'er the foam back to my home of yesterday;
I can see the cedar tree,
the old red moon above,
Picture there a happy pair in love.

My thoughts are drifting on
The old Saskatchewan,
You and I are dreaming by the shore,
The stars are dancing on
The old Saskatchewan,
As we sing our song of Spring once more;
How I miss the stolen kiss
and tender caress
in the land where hand in hand
We found happiness,
These mem'ries thrill me so,
I want the world to know,
My heart's in Saskatchewan

My thoughts are drifting on
The old Saskatchewan,
You and I are dreaming by the shore,
The stars are dancing on
The old Saskatchewan,
As we sing our song of Spring once more;
How I miss the stolen kiss
and tender caress
in the land where hand in hand
We found happiness,
These mem'ries thrill me so,
I want the world to know,
My heart's in Saskatchewan

Dreams of you all lead me to
the school upon the hill,
where we'd climb in apple time
like Jack and Jill;
Thro' the dells the mission bells
are ringing tenderly,
In the Spring perhaps
they'll ring for me.

My thoughts are drifting on
The old Saskatchewan,
You and I are dreaming by the shore,
The stars are dancing on
The old Saskatchewan,
As we sing our song of Spring once more;
How I miss the stolen kiss
and tender caress
in the land where hand in hand
We found happiness,
These mem'ries thrill me so,
I want the world to know,
My heart's in Saskatchewan

My thoughts are drifting on
The old Saskatchewan,
You and I are dreaming by the shore,
The stars are dancing on
The old Saskatchewan,
As we sing our song of Spring once more;
How I miss the stolen kiss
and tender caress
in the land where hand in hand
We found happiness,
These mem'ries thrill me so,
I want the world to know,
My heart's in Saskatchewan
