A couple hours north There's a joint down by the lake Had another round I was feelin' my heart ache Help me, please I don't know what to say I can't handle this cold Every single day
Across the bar There's a woman sittin' all alone She looked me in the eye Then she came to say "hello" She said "Honey You really think your life is hard? Spend a couple of minutes In my graveyard"
"'Cause I'm an old northern woman I lived through this shit once or twice I'm an old northern woman I been runnin' from the devil almost all my life"
40 years ago Her brother died in the war She sold that plot of land Started workin' at the liquor store She had mouths to feed Another baby on the way So the winter was long And there's bills to pay
"I'm an old northern woman These trying times have been here before I'm an old northern woman I never once complained but I always wanted more"
Then she grabbed me by my shoulder Sat me down with her to pray She said "Someday, when you're older You'll remember me You'll remember what I say"
"I'm an old northern woman I love these Minnesota nights I'm an old Northern Woman There ain't nothing gonna slow me down or take my rights"
"I'm an old northern woman I love these Minnesota nights I'm an old Northern Woman There ain't nothing gonna slow me down or take my rights Cause I've been runnin' from the devil almost all my life I'm an old northern woman 'Cause I'm an old northern woman"Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
