[00:00.55]There are strange things done 'neath the midnight sun
[00:02.98]
[00:03.61]By the men who moil for gold
[00:05.54]
[00:06.33]The arctic trails have their secret tales
[00:08.63]
[00:09.32]That would make your blood run cold
[00:11.13]
[00:12.19]The northern lights have seen queer sights
[00:14.37]
[00:15.25]But the queerest they ever did see
[00:17.99]Was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge
[00:20.74]I cremated Sam McGee
[00:22.11]
[00:23.67]Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee
[00:25.66]
[00:26.47]Where the cotton blooms and blows
[00:28.22]
[00:28.84]Why he left his home in the south to roam
[00:31.27]'Round the pole God only knows
[00:32.65]
[00:33.27]He was always cold but the land of gold
[00:36.33]Seemed to hold him like a spell
[00:38.76]Though he'd often say in his homely way
[00:41.01]
[00:41.76]That he'd sooner live in Hell
[00:43.51]
[00:44.94]On a Christmas day we were mushing our way
[00:47.93]Over the Dawson trail
[00:49.18]
[00:49.81]Talk of your cold through the parka's fold
[00:53.49]It stabbed like a driven nail
[00:55.05]
[00:55.80]If our eyes we'd close then the lashes froze
[00:58.98]'Til sometimes we couldn't see
[01:00.66]
[01:01.17]It wasn't much fun but the only one
[01:03.22]To whimper was Sam McGee
[01:04.85]
[01:06.34]And that very night while we lay packed tight
[01:08.96]In our robes beneath the snow
[01:10.46]
[01:11.33]And the dogs were fed and the stars o'er head
[01:13.83]Were dancing heel and toe
[01:15.33]
[01:16.27]He turns to me and "Cap" says he
[01:19.51]"I'll cash in this trip I guess
[01:21.38]
[01:22.01]And if I do I'm asking that you
[01:24.44]Won't refuse my last request "
[01:25.81]
[01:27.62]Well he looked so low that I couldn't say no
[01:30.87]Then he says with a sort of a moan
[01:33.67]"It's the cursed cold it's got right hold
[01:37.29]'Til I'm chilled clean through to the bone
[01:39.98]
[01:40.91]Yet tain't being dead it's my awful dread
[01:43.47]Of an icy grave that pains
[01:45.53]
[01:46.47]So I want you to swear that foul or fair
[01:50.46]You'll cremate my last remains "
[01:52.71]
[01:54.89]Well a friend's last need is a thing to heed
[01:58.57]So I swore I would not fail
[02:00.51]We started on at the streak of dawn
[02:02.69]But God he looked ghastly pale
[02:05.37]
[02:06.69]He crouched on the sleigh and he raved all day
[02:09.74]Of his home in Tennessee
[02:10.32]
[02:11.50]And before nightfall a corpse was all
[02:14.12]That was left of Sam McGee
[02:15.56]
[02:18.55]There wasn't a breath in that land of death
[02:20.36]And I hurried on horror driven
[02:22.24]
[02:23.30]With a corpse half hid that I couldn't get rid
[02:25.54]Because of a promise given
[02:27.16]
[02:28.09]It was lashed to the sleigh and it seemed to say
[02:30.84]"You may tax your brawn and brains
[02:33.96]
[02:34.83]But you promised true and it's up to you
[02:37.64]To cremate these last remains "
[02:39.64]
[02:41.82]Now a promise made is a debt unpaid
[02:44.94]And the trail has its own stern code
[02:47.19]
[02:47.88]In the days to come though my lips were numb
[02:50.68]
[02:51.25]In my heart how I cursed that load
[02:54.24]In the long long night by the lone firelight
[02:57.42]While the huskiers round in a ring
[03:00.04]Howled out their woes to the homeless snows
[03:02.67]Oh God How I loathed the thing
[03:05.16]
[03:06.72]And every day that quiet clay
[03:08.78]Seemed to heavy and heavier grow
[03:10.34]
[03:11.15]But on I went though the dogs were spent
[03:13.96]And the grub was getting low
[03:15.52]The trail was bad and I felt half mad
[03:18.70]But I swore I would not give in
[03:21.32]And I'd often sing to the hateful thing
[03:23.76]
[03:24.50]And it harkened with a grin
[03:26.50]
[03:27.19]Then I came to the marge of Lake LeBarge
[03:30.18]And a derelict there lay
[03:32.30]It was jammed in the ice but I saw in a trice
[03:35.49]It was called the "Alice May"
[03:37.36]
[03:37.92]And I looked at it and I thought a bit
[03:40.09]And I looked at my frozen chum
[03:41.96]
[03:42.52]Then "Here" said I with a sudden cry
[03:45.58]"is my cre-ma-tor-eum "
[03:47.52]
[03:48.70]Some planks I tore from the cabin floor
[03:50.95]And I lit the boiler fire
[03:52.76]Some coal I found that was lying around
[03:55.69]And I heaped the fuel higher
[03:58.19]The flames just soared and the furnace roared
[04:00.49]Such a blaze you seldom see
[04:02.56]Then I burrowed a hole in the glowing coal
[04:04.87]And I stuffed in Sam McGee
[04:06.55]
[04:07.30]Then I made a hike for I didn't like
[04:09.73]To hear him sizzle so
[04:11.42]And the heavens scowled and the huskies howled
[04:13.72]And the wind began to blow
[04:15.53]It was icy cold but the hot sweat rolled
[04:18.16]Down my cheeks and I don't know why
[04:20.96]
[04:21.59]And the greasy smoke in an inky cloak
[04:23.65]Went streaking down the sky
[04:25.27]
[04:27.39]I do not know how long in the snow
[04:29.58]I wrestled with grisly fear
[04:31.13]
[04:31.70]But the stars were out and they danced about
[04:34.82]'Ere again I ventured near
[04:36.81]I was sick with dread but I bravely said
[04:39.75]"I'll just take a peek inside
[04:41.74]
[04:42.43]He's probably cooked and it's time I looked "
[04:45.30]Then the door I opened wide
[04:47.36]And there sat Sam looking cold and calm
[04:50.60]In the heart of the furnace roar
[04:52.85]He wore a smile you could see a mile
[04:55.28]And he said "Please close that door
[04:56.78]It's fine in here but I greatly fear
[04:59.61]You'll let in the cold and storm
[05:01.23]Since I left Plumtree down in Tennessee
[05:05.29]It's the first time I've been warm "
[05:07.41]
[05:09.28]There are strange things done 'neath the midnight sun
[05:11.97]By the men who moil for gold
[05:13.71]
[05:14.52]The arctic trails have their secret tales
[05:16.58]
[05:17.14]That would make your blood run cold
[05:19.20]
[05:19.95]The northern lights have seen queer sights
[05:22.57]But the queerest they ever did see
[05:24.57]
[05:25.25]Was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge
[05:28.25]I cremated Sam McGee
