The verse lyrics are from a poem by Robert Service entitled
"The Spell of the Yukon" (1907)
Written & produced by Daz & Carina Collins.
We're coming.
We're coming to get it.
We're coming to get it.
I wanted the gold and I sought it,
scrabbled and mucked like a slave.
Was it famine or scurvy, I fought it.
I hurled my youth into a grave.
scrabbled and mucked like a slave.
Was it famine or scurvy, I fought it.
I hurled my youth into a grave.
We're here.
We're here and we want it.
The Yukon Gold.
We're here and we want it.
The Yukon Gold.
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.
came out with a fortune last Fall.
Yet somehow life's not what I thought it,
and somehow the gold isn't all.
The gold, the gold isn't all.
Hu, ha!
The midnight sun.
The midnight sun.
We came and we got it.
The Yukon gold, the Yukon gold..
The Yukon is the gold.
The Yukon gold, the Yukon gold..
The Yukon is the gold.
