Upon the Klondike River.

Do you recall that time last year.
Upon the Klondike river,
We thirsted for glass of beer,
And shook with many a SILVER?
l oft since then have wondered why
For gold, in natures culver,
She did not have wedge Of pie
Upon the Klondike river.
Our boat kept measure with its oar,
Till one September morning
The river froze from shore to shore
Without minutes warning,
And cut our commissary so
We didn't have silver
OF anything to eat but snow
Upon the Klondike river.
We'd dug four tons of gold week,
And piled it all around us,
Into glittering yellow peak,
Just as the winter downed US;
And when the summer came once more,
Although it seemed it never
Would come again, we were dead sore
Upon the Klondike river.
For not speck of dust had we,
OF all we had collected,
Because. by gravy, don't you see,
Twas not as we expected,
For grub was needed right along,
And stuff to stop SILVER,
And pound for pound. the suffers song,
Upon the Klondike river
So when the warm had killed the cold
And winter time was over,
We'd eaten all our pile Of gold,
And still were not in clover,
Because we owed a board bill yet.
Which with our best endeavor,
VIII wipe the wad this year We'll get
Upon the Klondike river.
