ole blue northern



Hi, I was wondering, whether by any chance , anyone here would know what 'ole blue northern' in verse 3 is, and how it would blow him back to her.

Someday Soon

There's a young man that I know
Just turned twenty-one.
Comes from down in southern Colorado.
Just out of the service
Lookin' for his fun,
Someday soon, going with him someday soon.

Her parents cannot stand him
'Cause he rides the rodeo
They say he's not her kind
He'll leave her crying.
If he asks she'll follow him down
The toughest row to hoe.
Someday soon, going with him, someday soon.

Oh, when he visits her
Her Pa ain't got one good thing to say.
Got a hunch he was just as wild
In his younger days.
Oh, blow you ole blue northern,
Blow him back to her.
He's likely driving back from California.
He loves his damned ole rodeo as much as he loves her.
Some day soon, going with him, someday soon.

Oh blow you ole blue northern,
Blow him back to her.
Some day soon, going with him some day soon
Some day soon, going with him some day soon

That's Texas talk for a "cold front". Now, mind you our view of a "blue norther" can be kinda demented. If it's close to 100 degrees and we get a "blue norther" that drops the temps to closer to 90, it's still a "cold front" in our book. Basically it is just any type of "cold front" that is coming from the North that is going to drop our temps.

The Lyric is from Chris Ledux. He's wites an

The proper term is actually "Blue Norther" (without the final "n") and yes, it's a cold front that comes down from the North Pole and blows across the great plains. Temperatures have been recorded to drop 60 degrees or more in a matter of a few hours when a true Blue Norther starts blowing.

BLUE NORTHER Refers to a swift-moving

Ole Blue Northern is a occulus weather formation. This means that it is an intense warm front colliding with an intense cold front and are usually in the midwestern/northern parts of the US. when they collide or usually when a cold front moves quickly, warm moist air is thrown up in the air over it, causing stormy, windy weather. This particular storm was regular and it was literally a "blue fist
