Biography:
James Keelaghan is a Juno award-winning Canadian folk singer-songwriter born in Calgary, Alberta, now based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Many of his songs, such as "Kiri's Piano", about the interment of Japanese Canadians, "October 70", about the FLQ crisis, are inspired by events and figures in Canadian history. Known for his lilting baritone voice, his driving rhythm guitar, and a keen sense of scene and narrative, Keelaghan’s music bridges traditional folk music with Canadiana.

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

Molly dear, when night is near and I am far away
G* Am
With loving heart you'll do your part and for me you will pray
C F
When the kids are fed they go to bed and you'll stand out on the lawn
Am
You won't even sigh for your absent boy
G D
In the far Saskatchewan, yeah
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G C D Am Em (2x) Am

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

Never far, I'll go a-soar to the far Saskatchewan
Am
For nearly a year my body was here

In our little island home
