"The Creamation of Sam McGee"

Robert Service, 1907.

Opening Chorus:

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.
