[00:00:00] Prairie Girl Gone - Po' Girl

[00:00:02] Written by：Allison Russell

[00:00:05] She was a child of the prairies a daughter of the depression

[00:00:16] Her parents fed the hobos right in the kitchen

[00:00:25] Her daddy was a hard man with few words to spare

[00:00:34] But he was gentle with the Clydesdales

[00:00:39] And always tried to be fair

[00:00:44] He'd been a fourteen year old orphan from Scotland

[00:00:49] With his little brother in tow

[00:00:53] They came to find themselves a better life

[00:00:57] In the land of wind and snow

[00:01:03] A long walk from nowhere they built a farm out of hope

[00:01:13] Great grand uncle never saw it prosper

[00:01:17] He died young at the some

[00:01:23] Long ago and far away

[00:01:33] Long ago just yesterday

[00:01:42] Her mother was a fey one

[00:01:46] She knew the ways of beasts and trees

[00:01:51] When she was joyous the whole world beamed

[00:01:56] When she was sad it grieved

[00:02:00] Great grandpa first saw her

[00:02:05] When she was just a young girl

[00:02:09] He said i will wait for you to grow up

[00:02:14] If you'll be my wife in the new world

[00:02:19] She'd been the pride of her brothers

[00:02:24] Caught on canvas by a famous painter

[00:02:29] She never left her small town in Scotland

[00:02:33] Til she crossed the ocean to live among strangers

[00:02:40] Long ago and far away long ago I'm going yesterday

[00:02:58] My grandma was a smart girl

[00:03:02] She rode her pony star to school

[00:03:07] Studied her way off of

[00:03:10] That farm went to teachers college down in Saskatoon

[00:03:17] She and grandpa married young had four kids one after the other

[00:03:26] But he was an artist trapped inside a teacher

[00:03:31] She was a teacher trapped inside of a mother

[00:03:35] The family moved to Montreal and they slowly fell apart

[00:03:45] Grandma had another baby got her PHD

[00:03:49] Grandpa met another woman who understood his art

[00:03:55] Long ago and far away long ago just yesterday

[00:04:32] Now grandma lives in an old folks home

[00:04:36] It's such a shame 'cause she's still so young

[00:04:41] Sometimes she's scared when friends and family come

[00:04:45] Doesn't know who we are or why we won't leave her alone

[00:04:50] The life she knew's a shadow grown faint and long

[00:04:55] Sometimes it wavers sometimes it's strong

[00:05:00] But I sing the songs she taught to me

[00:05:05] I see her the way that she used to be

[00:05:09] I can still remember all her stories

[00:05:13] I'm her living breathing memory I'm her living breathing memory

[00:05:25] Long ago and far away long ago I'm going yesterday

[00:05:44] Long ago and far away long ago just yesterday

[00:06:00] It's all so long ago I'll see you yesterday
