Band, The - Four Strong Winds Lyrics






Think I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends that I could go to working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I ask you one more time
But we've been through this a hundred times or more

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change come what may
If the good times are all gone
Then I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

If I get there before the snow flies
And if things are looking good
You can meet me if I send you down the fare
But by then it would be winter
Not too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold way out there

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change come what may
The good times are all gone
So I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I ask you one more time
But we've been through that a hundred times or more

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change come what may
If the good times are all gone
Then I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

    too bad Neil forgot the words because of all the coke he was snorting

  2. K.... M....

    Come what may with MV for better, trusted caretakers on music via Canada.

  3. h.... ....

    Sorry,  but this is far better than the Helpless in the Last Waltz, which clearly the Band didn't know very well. This is far better. I've always loved Neil's version of it since Comes a Time album which I think came out a year of two after this concert. Thanks for posting, what a gem.

    h.... ....

    And Joni M sticking all that noise into it.

  4. s.... s....

    I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

  15. T.... ....

    Shouldn't this be titled as "Neil Young with The Band"?  Christ they're not even lit up.

    T.... ....

    TheRomundus yeah so what's your point
    watch the last waltz.This is what The Band wanted to do.Write them and tell them you have a problem.

  16. T.... S....

    great post and performance though seems a little jittery at the start lyrics-wise and such

  17. C.... G....

    Wow! Thank you for uploading :-)

  18. h.... ....

    Beautiful song covered by many others but  my all time favorite version is from Neil Young & Nicolette Larson from the album "Comes A Time"

    h.... ....

    Moi aussi!

  19. N.... D....

    Beautiful!  Recorded on Super 8 Black & White.  Surprised it had sound sans color.  You young kids have no clue what I'm talking about so go ask your 17-year-old friends that never read anything and know everything and come back and bitch.

    My hat is off to the one that posted this wonderful piece!  This took place 2 years before Neil charted it in '78.  One of my favourite songs ever!
