Subject: Lyr Add: SQUAWS ALONG THE YUKON (f/Paul Roseland)
Here's the words to "Squaws Along The Yukon" as sung by Paul Roseland

There's a salmon-scented girl who sets my heart awhirl,
She lives up in the Yukon far away,
She looks so mighty neat with the snowshoes on her feet,
As she mush the old trap line and she'd say.

CHORUS:
Ooga, ooga, ooga,--which means dat I love you,
If you'll be my daddy it means I'll love you too,
You can talk about your cheechacko girls so beautiful to see,
But squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me!
Inside her little tent many the hours there we spent,
While the old fishreel made music all day long,
She's got skin you love to touch, but you couldn't touch it much,
Because her fur-lined parka's in the way.

Chorus---

In an igloo warm and dry we sat there side by side,
And I told her of adventures brave and bold,
She's got eyes that really shine and lips o' cherry wine,
And a heart that's as pure as Klondike gold.

Chorus---
