Sergeant Preston Of The Yukon Lyrics - Ray Stevens

Well, in the frozen north of the Yukon 

Lived the king of the Royal Mountie Force 

Sergeant Preston was his name 

King his dogs name was 

He had a big red coat and a big black boots 

And a whistle on a chain 

All of the crooks ran for cover 

'Cause he always got his man 

He said, "I own King, I own you great husky" 

And that great husky said, "Aooo, ohh" 

And he said, "Must all y'all huskies," all them huskies say 

"Aooo, ohh" 

Well, Dirty Dan of Squeakyville 

Robbed a trading post one day 

Killed off all five Eskimos 

And a made his getaway 

"He won't get past", says Sergeant Preston 

"I got my trusty dog" 

"I'll track him down and a bring him back 

He'll have to pay the cost" 

Well, for thirty days, thirty nights 

They followed the tracks in snow 

And the weather was howling, weather was cold 

Lord, it must be forty below zero 

All of a sudden King that great wonder dog 

Stopped dead in his tracks, gave out a mighty sniff 

Start sniffing all 'round there 'cause he knew, he knew 

He knew that Dirty Dan was behind the next snowdrift 

And Sergeant Preston said 

"I own King, I own you great husky" 

And that great husky said, "Aooo ohh" 

Sergeant Preston said, "Get him, boy 

This place is too sick of him" 

Says, "Tail him, that big dog 

Just tear through that snow [Incomprehensible]" 

Them ears back at, tail stacking straight up 

And there just shakin his head side to side 

And breathing fire, he said, "Aooo ohh" 

Well, they brought that villain to justice 

He didn't even put up a fight 

When he saw that big dog charging at him 

He almost died of fright 

And Sergeant Preston of the Yukon 

Is proud 'cause he's done it again 

He got his man, you can hear him say 

"Who needs Rin Tin Tin" 

He said, "King, this case is closed" 

And that dog said, "Aooo ohh"
