Restless One Lyrics

This old train is speeding southbound and her whistle moans the blues

And my heart's as cold as the ice and snow that fills these walkin' shoes

That old smoke-stack keeps barkin' back to me and seems to say

We'll carry you on, oh, restless one.

I had mushed my way on a Husky sleigh, to the land of Midnight Sun

And I kissed the squaw at the wigwam door, many times I faced a gun

Brown Eskimo didn't want me to go, when I told her I must run

And she gave me the name of the restless one.

Then I strolled into a tavern in that frozen land afar

Where I met a beautiful indian maid, she was known as the Morning Star

Her eyes were bright like the Northern Lights, when they chase the Arctic moon

And I knew she was born for the restless one.

As we danced I gently kissed her in the path of the morning sun

Love was sweet and oh, so blissful, with a romance just begun

The restless one had gone and fell in love with the Yukon queen

And she fell in love with the restless one.

Through the door came an angry red-skin, on his head was a beaded band

I was courtin' the wife of an Indian chief, who ruled with an iron hand

With a knife he run, but I pulled my gun and I shot him to the floor

Then the hunt began for the restless one.

Many days and nights they trailed me out under the northern sky

Where the wild birds song was mournful and the timber wolf did cry

But they tracked me down and I'm 'Frisco bound, I've made my final run

It's the end of the line for the restless one...
