Yukon

In the Yukon valley
 Where I spent my summer past
 I was alone in the bush where
 The tide's slow and the river moves fast
 And, oh that golden temptress
 That golden witch
 We were on the tundra
 In a land where the sun don't set
 In the Yukon valley
 Where you left me
 You left me on my knees
 On the Athabasca Delta
 We retraced our tracks
 All through the woods where we found
 A compass and a prospector's mound
 And I pushed off in my boat
 With the gold prospector's ghost
 Search forever
 But you won't ever find your gold
 The river swallowed it whole
 In the Yukon valley
 Where you left me
 You left me on my knees
 On the great slave river
 To the West
 To the West, I'm headed East
 In the Yukon Valley
 To the West
 I watched you dying
 As the temperature was rising
 In the Yukon Valley
 Where you left me
 You left me on my knees
 On the great slave river
 To the West
 To the West, but I'm headed East
 In the Yukon valley
 To the West
 To the West
 But I'm headed East
