about

Thanks to Don Browne, who prompted me to write this during a dry spell. (Minneapolis, MN—2008)

lyrics

Grab your coat, grab your hat
Grab your gloves now don’t look back ‘cause

Canada’s comin’
Canada’s comin’;
Canada’s comin’, and it’s all gonna freeze up now.

Grab your scarf, grab your boots,
Grab your parka, here’s the news: said

Canada’s comin’
Canada’s comin’;
Canada’s comin’, and it’s all gonna freeze up now.

Someone left the backdoor open,
The temperature is downward slopin’,
Twenty-five below (and droppin’),
Without the wind, and the wind's not stoppin’;
Canada’s comin, and it’s all gonna freeze up now.

Well it starts above the Great Slave Lake,
Round Yellowknife where the ice don’t break,
It’s heading’ down from Saskatoon,
Through Winnipeg--it’ll be here soon;
Canada’s comin, and it’s all gonna freeze up now.

So hunker down, light the stove,
Grab a quilt, now huddle up close, ‘cause

Canada’s comin’
Canada’s comin’;
Canada’s comin’, and it’s all gonna freeze up
(Canada’s comin’, and it’s all gonna freeze up)
Canada’s comin’, and it’s all gonna freeze up now.

about

Tim Gustafson Moline, Illinois

I have been writing and playing Americana--sometimes bluesy, sometimes rockish, sometimes jazz-inflected folk--since before it was called "Americana." I don't know where songs come from, or how or why they emerge. But here they are. I hope you enjoy them. ... more
