Sam Maggee Lyrics - Johnny Horton

Sam McGee 

There's a valley 

By the ol' North Pole 

Where ol' Sam McGee 

Died in search of gold 

Where ever I wonder 

In memories 

I see the smoke from the pipe of Sam McGee 

We had wondered way up there above the klondike 

Where we found the mighty mountain made of gold 

There old Sam he got sick and made me promise 

That if he died I wouldn't leave him in that cold 

(That if he died he wouldn't leave him in the cold) 

The next morning he was cold and stiff and lifeless 

So I dragged him forty days upon upon my sled 

'Till I found a pine of ??? valley 

It was there I got the notion in my head 

(It was there he got the notion in his head)

I took out my matches and I builded a fire 

And I laid old Sam upon the funeral pyre 

He sat up a grinnin' 

With his pipe in his mouth 

He sang "Ho, ho this is mighty like the south" 

(He sang "Ho, ho this is mighty like the south") 

--- 

The flames around him had a heavenly glow 

And the Northern Lights was just one big rainbow 

He sat there a grinnin' 

With his pipe in his mouth 

He sang "Ho, ho this is mighty like the south" 

(He sang "Ho, ho this is mighty like the south")
