Discover the story of the song > Strawberry Blonde – Ron Sexsmith

The song is about a girl named Amanda who moved to the protagonist's school when they were nine. She had pretty green eyes and strawberry blonde hair. Amanda lived with her mother in a run-down house, but no one knew anything was wrong until her mother passed away from alcohol and pills. The protagonist saw Amanda years later on a streetcar with her own daughter, and they both had the same strawberry blonde hair.
