Far Away Feeling The Spell Of The Yukon
作词:Anita Kerr, Robert Service
I wanted the gold and I sought it I scrabbled and mucked like a slave Was it famine or scurvy, I fought it I hurled my youth into a grave
I wanted the gold and I got it Came out with a fortune last fall Yet somehow, life's not what I thought it And somehow the gold isn't all
No, there's the land, have you seen it? It's the cursedest land that I know From the big, dizzy mountains that screen it To the deep, deathlike valleys below
Some say God was tired when He made it Some say it's a fine land to shun Maybe but there's some as would trade it For no land on earth and I'm one
You come to get rich, damned good reason You feel like an exile at first You hate it like hell for a season And then you are worse than the worst
It grips you like some kinds of sinning It twists you from foe to a friend It seems it's been since the beginning It seems it will be to the end
I've stood in some mighty-mouthed hollow That's plumb-full of hush to the brim I've watched the big, husky sun wallow In crimson and gold and grow dim
Till the moon set the pearly peaks gleaming And the stars tumbled out, neck and crop And I've thought that I surely was dreaming With the peace o' the world piled on top
The summer, no sweeter was ever The sunshiny woods all a thrill The gray ling a leap in the river The bighorn asleep on the hill

The winter, the brightness that blinds you The white land locked tight as a drum The cold fear that follows and finds you The silence that bludgeons you dumb
The snows that are older than history The woods where the weird shadows slant The stillness, the moonlight, the mystery I've bade 'em goodbye but I can't
There's a land where the mountains are nameless And the rivers all run God knows where There are lives that are erring and aimless And deaths that just hang by a hair
There are hardships that nobody reckons There are valleys unpeopled and still There's a land, oh, it beckons and beckons And I want to go back and I will
They're making my money diminish I'm sick of the taste of champagne Thank God when I'm skinned to a finish I'll pike to the Yukon again
I'll fight and you bet it's no sham-fight It's hell but I've been there before And it's better than this by a great site So me for the Yukon once more
There's gold and it's haunting and haunting It's luring me on as of old Yet it isn't the gold that I'm wanting So much as just finding the gold
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder It's the forests where silence has lease It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder It's the stillness that fills me with peace
