The Yukon Icon

He's an Icon in the Yukon
right down to his worn out boots.
and If you met him on the street
you'd wonder 'bout his roots.

He wakes up every morning
with a beer to start his day
then checks the daily weather
before he is on his way

You'll see him in the Yukon Cafe
sitting in that same ole chair
been sitting there for forty years
with many stories to share

He sings the tales of long ago
when the creeks were full of gold
staked his claim and worked away
in the freezing bitter cold

Thousands men and women
dreaming the same rich dream
of finding the largest nugget
the world has ever seen

Sit right down and hear his tales
cause gold is still around
the treasures you will find up there
are sitting right in town
