lyrics

here is a story
of two city slickers
that stumbled upon a
Yukon Dream

living in the great wild open
a northern land they never seen

they sold off all their possessions
and hitchhiked across BC
bought a rifle and a fishing rod
and traveled on trout and rosehip tea

oh in the great wild.

met a geologist in Dawson City
said "There is gold up a klondike stream"
sold them a compass and a map
and traded for his dog sled team

went up the Demster highway
leaves were turning yellow on trees
they were looking for pacer gold
and old miners cemeteries

oh in the great wild

they arrived in the tombstone mountains
surrounded by limestone peaks
they were the only souls around
lost in the Olgivlies

they build up a post beam cabin
to keep them safe from winter
split ten cords of wood
shot a caribou
and wildcrafted and preserved

oh in the great wild
alive in the great wild

soon the days get to be longer
the river ice started to break
set out with the compass and map
looking for land to stake

at a big meander in the river
they saw two grizzly cubs play
in a mountain stream they play

and they set camp on the other side of the river
this is the bridge that they crossed over the river

and they found gold the very next day
oh in the great wild

GOLD IN THE GREAT WILD !
