Tell my mama I'll be gone I'll be back Before long Long Before long Tell my papa I'll be good But he better knock on wood Wood Better knock on wood Well I'm Yukon man When I'm back in town Gonna be the richest man around Tell my brother in the fall I'll be back to bring home the haul Haul Bring home the haul Tell my sister Knock em' out When them bad boys start to shout Shout Just knock em' out Well I'm a Klondike Man Get as rich as I can with my tin pan Tell my baby I love her so When I'm back I'll bring her silver and gold Gold A band of gold Well I'm Yukon bound When I'm back in town Gonna be the richest man around I'm a Klondike Man Get as rich as I can with my tin pan
