Song Of The Yukon Rose

Song Of The Yukon Rose - Chris Ledoux (克里斯-勒多克斯)

There's a place on the Yukon river

Called the Carriboux Saloon

Where the miners go to spend their gold

An' listen to the sad sweet tune

Feast their eyes' upon the beauty of the lovely Yukon Rose

They can look but they better not touch her

She belongs to Pierre LeBoux

They say he found down in Seattle

Won her at a young and tender age

Now she sings up here while the men drink beer

Like a bird in a guilded cage

Well one time a man from Tulsa

Challenged Pierre for her Rose's hand

Now he lies below the the bitter snow

In this wild and savage land

Some nights when the Northern Lights are shinin'

Cold north wind is howlin'

Across the snow

Is it just the wind that you hear sighin'

Could it be the sound of

The Yukon Rose

Then one night a bigfoot

Just happened to be passin' by

And there in the dark his lonely heart

Was touched by Rose's lulaby

So he walked into the bar room

And everybody turned around to stare

But he looked to them just like a bearded man

In a coat of grizzly hair

Bigfoot saw the Yukon Rose and their eyes meet through the gloom

An' she was hypnotized by his gentle eyes

And was drawn across the room

Now they say that love has no bounderies an'

I reckon that it's right

'Cause beauty and the savage beast fell in love that night

Some nights when the Northern Lights are shinin'

An' the cold North winds are howlin' 'cross the snow

Is it just the wind that you hear sighin'

Could it be the song of the Yukon Rose

Now Pierre was in the back room dealin' cards

When the music stoped

He laid his hand down and looked around

And said nobody touch that pot

He walked out to the bar room

Trouble soon began

An' his blood ran cold when he saw

The Rose in the arms of the tall strange man

Pierre walked up and he grabbed her an'

Shoved her t'wards the stage

And the gentle look in the strangers

Eyes turned wild and red with rage

An' then with just one mighty blow Pierre

Lay on the saw dust floor

The tall strange man took the ladies hand

An' walked out through the door

No one dared to follow

And where he took her no one knows

But we all jumped back when we saw the tracks

Of bigfoot in the snow

Some say she probably died that winter she must have I s'pose

Just last night under the Northern Lights

I heard the song of the Yukon Rose

Some nights when the Northern Lights are shinin'

Cold north wind is howlin' across the snow

Is it just the wind that you hear sighin'

Could it be the song of the Yukon Rose
