Hank Thompson - Squaws Along The Yukon guitar chord

Hank Thompson

SQUAWS ALONG THE YUKON

(C) There's a Salmon-colored girl who (F) sets my heart awhirl

Who (G7) lives along the Yukon far a-(C) way

Where the Northern Lights, they shine, (C) she rubs her nose to mine

She (G7) cuddles close and I can hear her (C) say.

CHORUS

(*OOGA-OOGA MOOSKA), which (C) means that I love you

If (G7) you'll be my baby, I'll (*OOGA-OOGA MOOSKA) (G7) you

Then I take her hand in mine and (C) set her on my knee

The (G7) Squaws along the Yukon are good enough for (C) 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.
