Spell Of The Yukon

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[00:00:23]

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[00:00:39]

The it's cursedest land that I know[00:00:43]

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

To the deep deathlike valleys below[00:00:49]

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[00:01:01]

Land for no on earth and I'm one[00:01:04]

You come to get rich damned good reason[00:01:09]

You feel like an exile at first[00:01:13]

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[00:01:24]

It seems it's been since the beginning[00:01:28]

It seems it will be to the end[00:01:31]

I've stood in some mighty-mouthed hollow[00:01:35]

That's plumb-full of hush to the brim[00:01:37]

I've watched the big husky sun wallow[00:01:41]

In crimson and gold and grow dim[00:01:43]

Till the moon set the pearly peaks gleaming[00:01:47]

And the stars tumbled out neck and crop[00:01:50]

And I've thought that I surely was dreaming[00:01:54]

With the peace o' world piled on top[00:01:56]

The summer no sweeter was ever[00:02:01]

The sunshiny woods all a thrill[00:02:05]

The gray ling a leap in the river[00:02:07]

The bighorn asleep on the hill[00:02:10]

The strong life that never knows harness[00:02:13]

The wilds where the caribou call[00:02:17]

The freshness the freedom the fairness[00:02:20]

O god how I'm stuck on it all[00:02:24]

The winter the brightness that blinds you[00:02:29]

The white land locked tight as a drum[00:02:32]

The cold fear that follows and finds you[00:02:34]

The silence that bludgeons you dumb[00:02:38]

The snows that are older than history[00:02:41]

The woods where the weird shadows slant[00:02:44]

The stillness the moonlight the mystery[00:02:47]

I've bade 'em goodbye but I can't[00:02:54]

There's a land where the mountains are nameless[00:02:58]

And the rivers all run god knows where[00:03:01]

There are lives that are erring and aimless[00:03:05]

And deaths that just hang by a hair[00:03:08]

There are hardships that nobody reckons[00:03:12]

There are valleys unpeopled and still[00:03:15]

There's a land oh it beckons and beckons[00:03:19]

And I want to go back and I will[00:03:24]

They're making my money diminish[00:03:28]

I'm sick of the taste of champagne[00:03:29]

Thank god when I'm skinned to a finish[00:03:32]

I'll pike to the Yukon again[00:03:35]

I'll fight and you bet it's no sham-fight[00:03:37]

It's hell but I've been there before[00:03:39]

And it's better than this by a great site[00:03:43]

So me for the Yukon once more[00:03:46]

There's gold and it's haunting and haunting[00:03:50]

It's luring me on as of old[00:03:54]

Yet it isn't the gold that I'm wanting[00:03:56]

So much as just finding the gold[00:03:58]

It's the great big broad land 'way up yonder[00:04:01]

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

It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder[00:04:07]

It's the stillness that fills me with peace[00:04:10]
