yukon ho!

This song has been stuck in my head for the last two days, so I'm going to share it. (The spacing she had going isn't showing on this post, so I hope it still makes as much sense as it's supposed to). It's even better when you can hear it. Enjoy.

May Fields Tires of the Joy of Living
Used a Revolver Yesterday Morning
But With Poor Effect
Now Under Arrest

the belle was slowly pealing
the Outside is nothing
oh you kid oh you kid oh you kid.

French Marie mined thirty grand
one year later, she married the man
your weight in gold
your weight in gold
how much buckshot can your
corset hold?

the belle was slowly pealing
the Outside is nothing
French Alice swallowed tablets
Frankie Polson strychnine
Annie Fields bizarre shooting
Katsu mercury bichloride
Nellie the pig, she acts like she talks
handy with a pistol, even handier with
rocks

I know I should go Outside, but hell I
can't make the hike again
and if I find the right one, I could mine
him till the end
it's not the gold I care for, it's what the
gold can buy
a living for my sister
a bathtub full of wine

the belle was slowly pealing
the Outside's got nothing
oh you kid oh you kid oh you kid.

May Field tires of the joy of living
used a revolver yesterday morning
but with poor effect
now under arrest
She dies of old age, a respectable maid.
