The Band Of Heathens - Maple Tears lyrics

I met a girl from Manitoba Where the wind is wild on the Hudson Bay She could've been from Oklahoma If she didn't live so far away Prairie girl I read your letters As I stood by the tracks of the C.P.R. Every word just like a tear drop Every stain, a broken heart (Chorus) Maple tears in the letters she sends Red like the dirt in the Tulsa wind Sweet like cane on the delta bed Oh them maple tears in the letters she sends (Instrumental) I been inside ten thousand barrooms From Winnipeg on down to New Orleans And I seen the arms of that big old river Stretching far out to the sea (Chorus) Oh them maple tears in the letters she sends I met a girl from Manitoba
