Hark and listen to the whistle of the train

As the land of the golden hell

Molly dear, I greatly fear that soon I will be gone

I am going away on a harvest train to the far off Saskatchewan

And I'll leave you alone when you're arriving home
GD
To my dear calling boys
INTERLUDE: Am G C D Am Em Am

Molly dear, when night is near and I am far away

With loving heart you'll do your part and for me you will pray

You won't even sigh for your absent boy
GD
In the far Saskatchewan, yeah

Molly dear, dry up your tears, I'll soon be home again
G* Am
My pockets lined with the gold I'll find in the fields of the golden grain

For nearly a year my body was here
GD
In our little island home
INTERLUDE: Am G C D Am Em Am

As the land of the golden hell
