(Far Away Feeling) The Spell Of The Yukon-Jim Reeves
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?
the It's 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

land For no 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 strong life that never knows harness

The wilds where the caribou call
The freshness, the freedom, the fairness
O God how I'm stuck on it all

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
