The Lyrics

This is about the Hallmark series "When Calls the Heart" which is a romance between RCMP Constable Jack Thornton and teacher Elizabeth Thatcher in 1890s western Canada in Coal Valley- a miner's town.
I’m a Constable and Mountie and I ride the caked roads
Searchin' this frontier for bandits to expose
See her teaching in the saloon, I talk to her about most crimes
But the man Jack Thornton loves more than her mind

We both love our vocations, but she still thinks I’m a pain
And when I get jealous, our relationship is sometimes strained
And I need her more than want her and I want her to be mine
‘Cause the man Jack Thornton loves more than her mind

--- Instrumental ---

And I need her more than want her and I think we’ll do just fine
‘Cause the man Jack Thornton loves more than her mind...

[Maybe one day she'll agree to be my bride]

Note: I do not usually do love songs!!!

Thanks, Jon. The "Anne of Green Gables" series is better known as far as Canada goes, but I also like this new series from the author of "Love Comes Softly." Worth a look :)
