Goodbye To The Yukon (c) John Johns 2012
(For all those who've worked away from home)

Just another working day, that’s all I have to do * By this time tomorrow, I’ll be through * The temperature this morning was minus forty three * Seen all of the Yukon I want to see

CHORUS: I’ve seen the midnight sun I’ve seen the northern lights * I’ve Seen ice crystals dancing in the air * Seen brief summers come and go, winter’s back before you know * And I don’t have any plans to go back there

Ever since the Klondike days, when people dug for gold * They’ve headed north and worked there in the cold * Now diamonds oil and minerals, natural gas and ore * Are worth more than the gold they dug before

CHORUS

There’s plenty in my pocket now, I see my way is clear * They sure pay good money way up here * With good memories of people and places that I’ve known * It’s time to pack my bags, I’m going home

CHORUS (Stratocaster Break)

It’s goodbye to the wild Yukon, and Northwest Territories * Tomorrow I’ll be heading where I please * Across the Rocky Mountains to the blue Pacific shore * I won’t be going back there anymore

CHORUS
