Well, it's a wild north land
Velvet green eye with a sky of a ring
It's a wild north land
A cold steel trap with a frozen spring
Well, he's cold and tired
He's been out travelin' all day
You know Juneau is just a hundred miles away
And he's found his gold
He dug it from that ground
But today he's lost, tomorrow not found
Well, it's a wild north land
Velvet green eye with a sky of a ring
It's a wild north land
A cold steel trap with a frozen spring
It was just last spring
He found his golden gates
Now his greed kept a-tellin' him that winter would wait
But now his autumn's gone
And the skies are gray
Lord, the land is all wide, he can't find his way
Well, it's a wild north land
He knew she'd never marry him while he was poor
It's a wild north land
And get down on your knees and dig a little more
Hey, it's a wild north land
Velvet green eye with a sky of a ring
It's a wild north land
A cold steel trap with a frozen spring
