40 Below In The Winter
Folksong from Manitoba
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Mr. I, Gary Q. and the Rainbow Singers

 

Oh, it’s 40 below in the winter
And it’s 20 below in the fall
And it rises to zero in the springtime
And we don’t get no summers at all

Verse one:
It was raining and hailing this morning
On the corner of portage and main
Now it’s noon and the basements are flooded
And the dust storms are rising again

Chorus

Oh, my grandpa came west in the eighties
To the prairies where grain grows like grass
But the wheat pools and taxes got grandpa
So grandpa went east second class

Chorus
