As I walk through Transcona, thinking of the past
A hundred years since Strathcona, who built a town to last
To fix the trains that travel from, the east coast to the west
This is the town I had to leave, The town I love the best

Chorus
One Hundred years ago...Transcona
Part of our heritage...Transcona

People come and people go with very busy ways
I spent a time not long enough, in my younger days
Through the years I miss it so, the town I can't forget
Searching for a better place, I haven't found it yet

Lead

Listen to the whistle blow, thunder of the trains
On a hot Transcona night, out here on the plains
A million stars up in the sky, The Red River flows
A distant memory, a longing I suppose

Chorus
One hundred years ago...Transcona
Part of our heritage....Transcona
One hundred years ago...Transcona
Part of our heritage...Transcona
Transcona
Transcona
