I'm long gone to the Yukon boys Cause the Yukon's calling for me Well brother I just got your note this mornin' And ya tell me that you've found a little gold And before another day is done On that long northern train I'm gonna roll I can see a little cabin by the mountains I'll soon be there to share the gold with you Cause I want to live a life like Robert Service Old Sam McGee and Dangerous Dan McGrew Cause I'm long gone to the Yukon Those northern lights I want to see I'm long, long gone to the Yukon boys Cause the Yukon's calling for me Yeah the Yukon's calling for me Where the wind along the river will be music And the midnight sun is aways riding low I'll paddle my canoe along the Klondike I'll pan the gold and be a sour dough And when I pull into Dawson City, Yukon I'll be heading for the Diamond Lil Saloon I'll gamble to a honky tonk piano
And I'll chase the dancin' girls around the room Cause I'm long gone to the Yukon Those northern lights I want to see I'm long, long gone to the Yukon boys Cause the Yukon's calling for me Yeah the Yukon's calling for me Well they say once you've heard those mystic voices On the silence of the north you can't return Now I hear that lonsome timber wolf a callin' By the fire where I watched the banic burn Now it won't be long before I'm Pickin' nuggets My brother says they're lyin' everywhere My boss is gonna want to be my butler Cause when I come back I'll be a millionaire I'm long gone to the Yukon Those northern lights I want to see I'm long, long gone to the Yukon boys Cause the Yukon's calling for me Yeah the Yukon's calling for me The Yukon's calling for me The Yukon's calling for me The Yukon's calling for me The Yukon's calling for me
