Song Of The Yukon Rose - Chris Ledoux[00:00:00]
There's a place on the Yukon river[00:00:12]
Called the Carriboux Saloon[00:00:15]
Where the miners go to spend their gold[00:00:17]
An' listen to the sad sweet tune[00:00:20]
Feast their eyes' upon the beauty of the lovely Yukon Rose[00:00:22]
They can look but they better not touch her[00:00:27]
She belongs to Pierre LeBoux[00:00:30]
They say he found down in Seattle[00:00:33]
Won her at a young and tender age[00:00:36]
Now she sings up here while the men drink beer[00:00:39]
Like a bird in a guilded cage[00:00:41]
Well one time a man from Tulsa[00:00:44]
Challenged Pierre for her Rose's hand[00:00:46]
Now he lies below the the bitter snow[00:00:49]
In this wild and savage land[00:00:51]
Some nights when the Northern Lights are shinin'[00:00:56]
Cold north wind is howlin'[00:01:00]
Across the snow[00:01:03]
Is it just the wind that you hear sighin'[00:01:06]
Could it be the sound of[00:01:12]
The Yukon Rose[00:01:13]
Then one night a bigfoot[00:01:18]
Just happened to be passin' by[00:01:21]
And there in the dark his lonely heart[00:01:24]
Was touched by Rose's lulaby[00:01:26]
So he walked into the bar room[00:01:28]
And everybody turned around to stare[00:01:31]
But he looked to them just like a bearded man[00:01:33]
In a coat of grizzly hair[00:01:36]
Bigfoot saw the Yukon Rose and their eyes meet through the gloom[00:01:39]
An' she was hypnotized by his gentle eyes[00:01:43]
And was drawn across the room[00:01:46]
Now they say that love has no bounderies an'[00:01:49]
I reckon that it's right[00:01:51]
'Cause beauty and the savage beast fell in love that night[00:01:53]
Some nights when the Northern Lights are shinin'[00:02:00]
An' the cold North winds are howlin' 'cross the snow[00:02:05]
Is it just the wind that you hear sighin'[00:02:10]
Could it be the song of the Yukon Rose[00:02:16]
Now Pierre was in the back room dealin' cards[00:02:23]
When the music stoped[00:02:26]
He laid his hand down and looked around[00:02:28]
And said nobody touch that pot[00:02:30]
He walked out to the bar room[00:02:33]
Trouble soon began[00:02:35]
An' his blood ran cold when he saw[00:02:38]
The Rose in the arms of the tall strange man[00:02:40]
Pierre walked up and he grabbed her an'[00:02:43]
Shoved her t'wards the stage[00:02:46]
And the gentle look in the strangers[00:02:48]
Eyes turned wild and red with rage[00:02:50]
An' then with just one mighty blow Pierre[00:02:53]
Lay on the saw dust floor[00:02:56]
The tall strange man took the ladies hand[00:02:58]
An' walked out through the door[00:03:01]
No one dared to follow[00:03:05]
And where he took her no one knows[00:03:08]
But we all jumped back when we saw the tracks[00:03:10]
Of bigfoot in the snow[00:03:13]
Some say she probably died that winter she must have I s'pose[00:03:16]
Just last night under the Northern Lights[00:03:20]
I heard the song of the Yukon Rose[00:03:23]
Some nights when the Northern Lights are shinin'[00:03:27]
Cold north wind is howlin' across the snow[00:03:32]
Is it just the wind that you hear sighin'[00:03:37]
Could it be the song of the Yukon Rose[00:03:42]
