Chris LeDoux - Song Of The Yukon Rose

There's a place on the Yukon riverCalled the Carriboux SaloonWhere the miners go to spend their goldAn' listen to the sad, sweet tuneFeast their eyes' upon the beautyOf the lovely Yukon RoseThey can look but they better not touch herShe belongs to Pierre LeBouxThey say he found down in SeattleWon her at a young and tender ageNow she sings up here, while the men drink beerLike a bird in a gilded cageWell, one time a man from TulsaChallenged Pierre for her Rose's handNow he lies below the the bitter snowIn this wild and savage landSome nights when the Northern Lights are shinin'And the cold north wind is howlin' across the snowIs it just the wind that you hear sighin'Or could it be the sound of the Yukon Rose?Then one night a BigfootJust happened to be passin' byAnd there in the dark his heart, his lonely heartWas touched by Rose's lullabySo he walked into the bar roomAnd every one turned to stareBut he looked to them just like a bearded manIn a coat of grizzly hairBigfoot saw the Yukon RoseAnd their eyes meet through the gloomAn' she was hypnotized by his gentle eyesAnd was drawn across the roomNow they say that love has no bounderiesAn' I reckon that it's right'Cause beauty and the savage beastFell in love that nightSome nights when the Northern Lights are shinin'An' the cold North winds are howlin' 'cross the snowIs it just the wind that you hear sighin'Or could it be the song of the Yukon Rose?Now Pierre was in the back roomDealin' cards when the music stopedHe laid his hand down and looked aroundAnd said nobody touch that potHe walked out to the bar roomAnd the trouble beganAn' his blood ran cold when he saw the RoseIn the arms of the tall strange manPierre walked up and he grabbed herAn' shoved her t'wards the stageAnd the gentle look in the strangers eyesTurned wild and red with rageAn' then with just one mighty blowPierre lay on the saw-dust floorThe tall strange man took the ladies handAn' walked out through the doorNo one dared to followAnd where he took her no one knowsBut we all jumped back when we saw the tracksOf Bigfoot in the snowSome say she probably died that winterShe must have I s'poseBut just last night under the Northern LightsI heard the song of the Yukon RoseSome nights when the Northern Lights are shinin'And the cold north wind is howlin' across the snowIs it just the wind that you hear sighin'Or could it be the song of the Yukon Rose?
