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
