I still sing the song to myself at times\u2026as do most Canadians of  certain age in 1961\u2026and today in 2022 it still resonates. (alan skeoch<\/div>\n
Wish you could play the song when you see these pictures.)<\/div>\n

(Four Strong Winds was written in or around 1961 by Ian Tyson<\/b>.<\/p>\n

According to Tyson, he was in a bar listening to Bob Dylan sing. He thought, “I can do that”, took out his guitar and started “fooling around”.<\/p>\n

In half an hour he had written what has been called the greatest Canadian song of all time.)<\/p>\n

The words
<\/font><\/h2>\n

Chorus<\/b><\/i><\/u><\/p>\n

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don’t change come what may
For our good times are all gone and I’m bound for movin’ on
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Guess I’ll go out to Alberta, weather’s good there in the fall<\/em>
Got some friends that I can go to workin’ for<\/em>
Still I wish you’d change your mind if I asked you one more time<\/em>
But we’ve been through that a hundred times before<\/em>
<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/b><\/i><\/em><\/p>\n

If I get there before the snow flies and things are goin’ good<\/em>
You could meet me if I sent you down the fare<\/em>
But by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do<\/em>
And the winds sure do blow cold way out there<\/em>
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
