(Far Away Feeling) The Spell Of The Yukon-Jim Reeves[00:00:00]

I wanted the gold and I sought it[00:00:10]

I scrabbled and mucked like a slave[00:00:12]

Was it famine or scurvy I fought it[00:00:16]

I hurled my youth into a grave[00:00:20]

I wanted the gold and I got it[00:00:22]

Came out with a fortune last fall[00:00:27]

Yet somehow life's not what I thought it[00:00:30]

And somehow the gold isn't all[00:00:34]

No there's the land have you seen it [00:00:38]

It's the cursedest land that I know[00:00:42]

From the big dizzy mountains that screen it[00:00:46]

To the deep deathlike valleys below[00:00:48]

Some say God was tired when He made it[00:00:53]

Some say it's a fine land to shun[00:00:57]

Maybe but there's some as would trade it[00:01:00]

For no land on earth and I'm one[00:01:03]

You come to get rich damned good reason[00:01:08]

You feel like an exile at first[00:01:12]

You hate it like hell for a season[00:01:15]

And then you are worse than the worst[00:01:18]

It grips you like some kinds of sinning[00:01:21]

It twists you from foe to a friend[00:01:23]

It seems it's been since the beginning[00:01:27]

It seems it will be to the end[00:01:30]

I've stood in some mighty-mouthed hollow[00:01:34]

That's plumb-full of hush to the brim[00:01:36]

I've watched the big husky sun wallow[00:01:40]

In crimson and gold and grow dim[00:01:42]

Till the moon set the pearly peaks gleaming[00:01:46]

And the stars tumbled out neck and crop[00:01:49]

And I've thought that I surely was dreaming[00:01:53]

With the peace o' the world piled on top[00:01:55]

The summer no sweeter was ever[00:02:00]

The sunshiny woods all a thrill[00:02:04]

The gray ling a leap in the river[00:02:06]

The bighorn asleep on the hill[00:02:09]

The strong life that never knows harness[00:02:12]

The wilds where the caribou call[00:02:16]

The freshness the freedom the fairness[00:02:18]

O God how I'm stuck on it all[00:02:23]

The winter the brightness that blinds you[00:02:28]

The white land locked tight as a drum[00:02:31]

The cold fear that follows and finds you[00:02:33]

The silence that bludgeons you dumb[00:02:37]

The snows that are older than history[00:02:40]

The woods where the weird shadows slant[00:02:43]

The stillness the moonlight the mystery[00:02:46]

I've bade 'em goodbye but I can't[00:02:52]

There's a land where the mountains are nameless[00:02:57]

And the rivers all run God knows where[00:03:00]

There are lives that are erring and aimless[00:03:03]

And deaths that just hang by a hair[00:03:06]

There are hardships that nobody reckons[00:03:10]

There are valleys unpeopled and still[00:03:13]

There's a land oh it beckons and beckons[00:03:17]

And I want to go back and I will[00:03:22]

They're making my money diminish[00:03:26]

I'm sick of the taste of champagne[00:03:28]

Thank God when I'm skinned to a finish[00:03:30]

I'll pike to the Yukon again[00:03:33]

I'll fight and you bet it's no sham-fight[00:03:35]

It's hell but I've been there before[00:03:38]

And it's better than this by a great site[00:03:42]

So me for the Yukon once more[00:03:45]

There's gold and it's haunting and haunting[00:03:48]

It's luring me on as of old[00:03:52]

Yet it isn't the gold that I'm wanting[00:03:55]

So much as just finding the gold[00:03:56]

It's the great big broad land 'way up yonder[00:03:59]

It's the forests where silence has lease[00:04:02]

It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder[00:04:05]

It's the stillness that fills me with peace[00:04:08]
