Yukon Sally

Yukon Sally lives on the mountain side
 Yukon Sally she likes to mountain climb
 She has a pack and an old canteen
 A hnudred little things that she has seen
 And a hundred stories if you've got awhile
 Helicopter Joe lives down the road a ways
 Helicopter Joe flies passengers all day
 Up to the highest peak around
 Takes a photograph and takes them down
 So they can verify their lofty claims
 Joe calls Sally every now and then
 He says "Cme on Sally, have a little sense
 That mountain climbing is a silly waste of time
 I've got a way you can skip all that
 Get you to the top in minutes flat"
 Sally just shakes her head and smiles wide
 And says "I think I'd rather climb"
 Joe sells rides to the hurried working class
 They want sights and they want to see them fast
 They say "this is nice and I hate to rush
 But we can catch a bite if we hurry up
 And maybe do the ocean after that"
 Sally dallies in the scent of evergreen
 Cools her feet in a chilly mountain stream
 Stays outside when the sky grows dark
 Walks in time to her beating heart
 And meditates a monment at the peak
 Joe calls Sally every now and then
 He says "Cme on Sally, have a little sense
 That mountain climbing is a silly waste of time
 I've got a way you can skip all that
 Get you to the top in minutes flat"
 Sally just shakes her head and smiles wide
 And says "I think I'd rather climb"
 She says "Joe, the climbing is half the joy
 You might reach the peak but that's not the point"
 Joe says "Sally, you're a mystery to me
