Lyrics
Yukon Sally
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yukon Sally lives on the mountain side
Yukon Sally she likes to mountain climb
She has a pack and an old canteen
A hnudred little things that she has seen
And a hundred stories if you've got awhile
Helicopter Joe lives down the road a ways
Helicopter Joe flies passengers all day
Up to the highest peak around
Takes a photograph and takes them down
So they can verify their lofty claims
Joe calls Sally every now and then
He says "Cme on Sally, have a little sense
That mountain climbing is a silly waste of time
I've got a way you can skip all that
Get you to the top in minutes flat"
Sally just shakes her head and smiles wide
And says "I think I'd rather climb"
Joe sells rides to the hurried working class
They want sights and they want to see them fast
They say "this is nice and I hate to rush
But we can catch a bite if we hurry up
And maybe do the ocean after that"
Sally dallies in the scent of evergreen
Cools her feet in a chilly mountain stream
Stays outside when the sky grows dark
Walks in time to her beating heart
And meditates a monment at the peak
Joe calls Sally every now and then
He says "Cme on Sally, have a little sense
That mountain climbing is a silly waste of time
I've got a way you can skip all that
Get you to the top in minutes flat"
Sally just shakes her head and smiles wide
And says "I think I'd rather climb"
She says "Joe, the climbing is half the joy
You might reach the peak but that's not the point"
Joe says "Sally, you're a mystery to me
Yukon Sally lives on the mountain side
