Maple Tears Lyrics - The Band Of Heathens - The Band Of Heathens

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
