I Took A Contract To Bury The Body Of Blasphemous Bill MacKie,

Whenever, Wherever Or Whatsoever The Manner Of Death He Die

Whether He Die In The Light O' Day Or Under The Peak-faced Moon;

In Cabin Or Dance-hall, Camp Or Dive, Mucklucks Or Patent Shoon;

On Velvet Tundra Or Virgin Peak, By Glacier, Drift Or Draw;

In Muskeg Hollow Or Canyon Gloom, By Avalanche, Fang Or Claw;

By Battle, Murder Or Sudden Wealth, By Pestilence, Hooch Or Lead

I Swore On The Book I Would Follow And Look Till I Found My Tombless Dead.



For Bill Was A Dainty Kind Of Cuss, And His Mind Was Mighty Sot

On A Dinky Patch With Flowers And Grass In A Civilized Bone-yard Lot.

And Where He Died Or How He Died, It Didn't Matter A Damn

So Long As He Had A Grave With Frills And A Tombstone "epigram".

So I Promised Him, And He Paid The Price In Good Cheechako Coin

(Which The Same I Blowed In That Very Night Down In The Tenderloin).

Then I Painted A Three-foot Slab Of Pine: "Here Lies Poor Bill MacKie",

And I Hung It Up On My Cabin Wall And I Waited For Bill To Die.



Years Passed Away, And At Last One Day Came A Squaw With A Story Strange,

Of A Long-deserted Line Of Traps 'way Back Of The Bighorn Range;

Of A Little Hut By The Great Divide, And A White Man Stiff And Still,

Lying There By His Lonesome Self, And I Figured It Must Be Bill.

So I Thought Of The Contract I'd Made With Him, And I Took Down From The Shelf

The Swell Black Box With The Silver Plate He'd Picked Out For Hisself;

And I Packed It Full Of Grub And "hooch", And I Slung It On The Sleigh;

Then I Harnessed Up My Team Of Dogs And Was Off At Dawn Of Day.



You Know What It's Like In The Yukon Wild When It's Sixty-nine Below;

When The Ice-worms Wriggle Their Purple Heads Through The Crust Of The Pale Blue Snow;

When The Pine-trees Crack Like Little Guns In The Silence Of The Wood,

And The Icicles Hang Down Like Tusks Under The Parka Hood;

When The Stove-pipe Smoke Breaks Sudden Off, And The Sky Is Weirdly Lit,
