The Cremation Of Sam McGee lyrics song presented by Hank Snow : There are strange things done in the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold The Arctic trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold. The Northern Lights have seen queer sights But the queerest they ever did see Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam Mcgee. Now Sam Mcgee was from Tennessee Where the cotton blooms and blows Why he left his home in the South to roam 'Round the Pole God only knows. He was always cold but the land of gold Seemed to hold him like a spell Though he'd often say in his homely way That he'd sooner live in hell. On a Christmas Day we were mushing Our way over the Dawson trail Talk of your cold through the parka's fold It stabbed like a driven nail. If our eyes we'd close then the lashes froze Till sometimes we couldn't see It wasn't much fun but the only one To whimper was Sam Mcgee. And that very night as we lay packed tight I...

There's A Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere lyrics song presented by Hank Snow : There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere In a distant land so many miles away Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there Where I wished that I could also live someday.

The Wreck Of The Number Nine lyrics song presented by Hank Snow : On a cold winter's night not a star was in sight And the north wind came howling down the line With his sweetheart so dear stood a brave engineer With his orders to pull old No. 9.

Oh, the wheels hummed a song as the train rolled along And the black smoke came pouring from the stack And the headlight agleam seemed to brighten his dream Of tomorrow when he'd be coming back.

The Last Ride lyrics song presented by Hank Snow : In the Dodge City yards of the Santa Fe stood a freight made up for the East And the engineer with his oil and waste was grooming the great iron beast While ten cars back in the murky dust a boxcar door swung wide And a hobo lifted his pal aboard to start on his last long ride A lantern swung and the freight pulled out the engine it gathered speed The engineer pulled the throttle wide and clacked to his fiery steed Ten cars back in the empty box the hobo rolled a pill The flare of the match showed his partner's face stark white and deathly still As the train wheels clicked on the coupling joints a song for the rambler's ear The hobo talked to the still white form his pal for many a year For a mighty long time we've rambled Jack wth the luck of men that roam With the backdoor steps for a dining room and a boxcar for a home We doget the bulls on the Eastern route and the cops on the Chesapeake We traveled the Leadville narro...

The Highest Bidder lyrics song presented by Hank Snow : You put your heart upon an auction block and sold it Selfish greed and envy were the auctioneers The highest bidder won your heart but he can't hold it Love that's bought with gold can only end in tears The price I offered was my true love and devotion But you laughed and said that love had had it's day When at your feet I laid a heart filled with emotion You scorned the only price that I could pay [ guitar - fiddle ] May the golden price he paid you for your love dear Keep you with him may you never drift apart Cause at the auction of regret all tears are worthless Bids are low for second-handed broken hearts When all your wealth and riches cease to give you pleasure When you tire of playing princess you'll recall That love alone is life's true everlasting treasure And my bid it was the highest after all

As the train pulls into the station I can see Peggy waiting there for me But I can tell there's something wrong She's not the happy girl she used to be Peggy hasn't said much As she drives along the road back to our farm And she ignored the question When I asked her where she got this pretty car.

Nobody's Child lyrics song presented by Hank Snow : I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day And stop there for a moment just to watch the children play Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why He turned with eyes that couldn't see and he began to cry. I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child I'm like a flower just growing wild No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child. I just can't seem to understand why the folks all pass me by 'Cause I know that it's true that God takes little blind children with him in the sky And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty and they seem to like my big curls of gold But then they take some other little child and I'm left here all alone. People come for children and take them to their own But they all seem to pass me by and leave me here alone I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind They always take some other child and I...
