Lyrics
They say the men who looked for gold
Were warmed by the sun in her glance
So, they fell for the belle of the Yukon
And their dreams remembered how to dance
They say her voice could tame the wind
Wherever she was it was spring
So, they fell for the belle of the Yukon
And their hearts remembered how to sing
When old timers talk of early glories
She’s always somewhere in their stories
They say her smile could melt the moon
And roses were willing to grow
When they tell of the belle of the Yukon
Well, it may be true for all we know
It happened many years ago
