SOMEDAY SOON

I've always liked this song, and have it down pretty good on the guitar.  I have transposed the lyrics to "young girl" since I didn't like the idea of singing about a young man 😋  There are two versions of Someday Soon below, one by a young Judy Collins and the other by a more senior Collins, followed by the lyrics - song and lyrics by Ian Tyson of Ian & Sylvia fame.

There’s a young man that a know, his age is twenty one
Comes from down in southern Colorado
Just out of the service and he’s lookin' for his fun
Someday soon goin' with him someday soon

 

My parents cannot stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me cryin'
I would follow him right down the toughest road I know
Someday soon goin' with him someday soon

 

And when he comes to call, my pa ain’t got a good word to say
Guess it's 'cause he was just as wild in the younger days

 

So blow you ol’ blue northern, blow my love to me
He’s drivin’ in tonight from California
He loves his damned ol’ rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon goin' with him someday soon

 

And when he comes to call, my pa ain’t got a word to say
Guess it's 'cause he was just as wild in the younger days

 

Blow you ol’ blue northern, blow my love to me
He’s drivin’ in tonight from California
He loves his damned ol’ rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon goin' with him someday soon
Someday soon goin' with him someday soon
