Squaws Along the Yukon
Recorded by Hank Thompson

C F
There's a Salmon-colored girl who sets my heart awhirl
G7 C
Who lives along the Yukon far a- way
C
Where the Northern Lights, they shine, she rubs her nose to mine
G7 C
She cuddles close and I can hear her say.
CHORUS
*OOGA-OOCA MOOSKA
, which means that I love you
G7 *G7GA-OOGA MOOSKA
If you'll be my baby, I'll you
C
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee
G7 C
The Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me.
She makes her underwear from hides of Grizzly bear
And bathes in ice cold water every day
Her skin, I love to touch, but I just can't touch it much
Because her fur-lined Parkas' in the way.
CHORUS
She's got the Air Corps down, the Sourdoughs hang around
*Chechakos
try to date her night and day
With a landing gear that's fine and a fusilage divine
And a smile that you can see a mile away.
CHORUS
TAG: Carry me back to old Alaska
The Squaws Along The Yukon are good enough for me.
