lyrics
44 BELOW
Hear the crunch of the snow under my feet
The world is all white, can’t miss a beat
Can’t feel the rope ‘cause my fingers are numb
It’s forty below boys - no sign of the sun
We left everything on this foolish odyssey
No sign of Ulysses or Hercules
Searchin’ for gold, we got storm stayed below
Saw dead men sittin’ down, dead eyes starin’ at the snow
Chorus:
Tramp the snow down boys, tramp the snow down
Forty miles ov’r this mountain to the next town
Forty-four below boys, Forty-four below
There’ll be whisky and a fire to warm up your toes
The pines stand like sentries guarding the pass
The Moon was our spotlight but refused to last
We’re good prairie boys that got bent out of shape
Got yellow gold fever from a man with a cape
So squint your eyes boys, lookee through the wooden slits
Carry your burden there’ll be bacon and grits
We’ve gone too far to end up like this
Another Unfortunate, lying in the ditch
Chorus:
Tramp the snow down boys, tramp the snow down
Forty miles ov’r this mountain ‘til we make the next town
Forty-four below boys, forty-four below
There’ll be whisky and pretty women to warm up your toes
We finally made Dawson, what a marvelous sight
Twinklin’ lights in bar windows, played the fiddle all night
Tomorrow stake our claim like good Moose Jaw boys
Wake up like Christmas morning, little kids playin’ with toys
Chorus:
Tramp the snow down boys, tramp the snow down
Forty miles ov’r this mountain to make the next town
Forty-four below boys, forty-four below
There’ll be whisky and pretty woman to warm up your toes
Hear the crunch of the snow under my feet
The world is all white, can’t miss a beat
Can’t feel the rope ‘cause fingers are numb
It’s forty-four below boys no sign of the sun
It’s forty-four below boys no sign of the sun
It’s forty-four below boys no sign of the sun
