I think Bob Dylan's song Girl Fromthe North Country is a beatiful song with great emotional relvence to Saskatchewan;

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night,
In the brightness of my day.

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

The tune comes from Scarbough Fair, but I really like the descriptions of winter, and though it is a lost love song it could be interpreted as someone longing for home.

Roll on Saskatchewan.

Let my heart sing an old river song
As we journey back where I belong,
Where the wind comes to say
To the river each day,
"Roll on, roll on, Saskatchewan."

Chorus:
Roll on, roll on, Saskatchewan
From the wheat fields of my heart.
Go find your way
To the cool Hudson Bay.
Roll on, roll on, Saskatchewan.

Oh, river, go whisper my prayer.
Tell mother and dad I still care.
Leave this tear that I cried
On the shore where they died.
Roll on, roll on, Saskatchewan.

Chorus:
