In the Yukon Valley where I spent my summer past,
I was alone in the bush where the time's slow and the River moves fast
Oh, that northern temptress; that golden witch
We were on the tundra in a land where the sun don't set.
In the Yukon Valley, where you left me...
You left me on my knees
On the Athabasca Delta we retraced our tracks
All through the wood were we found
A compass and a prospector's map
I pushed off in my boat
With the gold prospector's ghost
Search forever but you won't ever find your
Gold
The river swallowed it
Whole
In the Yukon Valley, where you left me...
You left me on my knees
On the great slave river, to the West
To the West, but I'm headed East
In the Yukon Valley
To the West
I wathed you die, yeah
As the the temperature was
Rising
In the Yukon Valley, where you left me...
You left me on my knees
On the great slave river, to the West
To the West, but I'm headed East
In the Yukon Valley
To the West
To the West
But I'm headed East
