Below are the lyrics to Ian Tyson's song "Four Winds", sung at the memorial to honour the four RCMP officers killed in Mayerthorp, Alberta:
Const. Peter Schiemann, 25
Const. Anthony Gordon, 28
Const. Lionide Johnston, 29
Const. Brock Myrol, 29
This song has been recorded by several people, including Neil Young and the Kingston Trio, but many have said that every time they hear it from today, they'll only think of those four officers.
Four Winds by Ian Tyson
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All these things that don't change
Come what may.
But our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for moving on.
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.
Think I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall.
Got some friends that I can go to working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time,
But we've been through that a hundred times or more.
If I get there before the snow flies
And if things are going good
You could meet me if I send you down the fare.
But if you wait until it's winter
It will be no good
'Cause that wind sure can blow way out there.
