Ray Stevens

Sergeant Preston Of The Yukon

Well, in the frozen north of the Yukon

Lived the king of the Royal Mountie Fuzz

Sergeant Preston was his name

King his dog?s name was

He had a big red coat and a big black boots

And a whistle on a chain

All of the crooks ran for cover

'Cause he always got his man

He said, "I own King, I own you great husky"

And that great husky said, "Aooo, ohh"

And he said, "Must all y'all huskies," all them huskies say

"Aooo, ohh"

Well, Dirty Dan of Squeakyville

Robbed a train coach one day

Killed off all five Eskimos

And a made his getaway

"He won't get past", says Sergeant Preston

"I got my trusty dog"

"I'll track him down and a bring him back

He'll have to pay the cost"

Well, for thirty days, thirty nights

They followed the tracks in snow

And the weather was howling, weather was cold

Lord, it must be forty below zero

All of a sudden King that great wonder dog

Stopped dead in his tracks, gave out a mighty sniff

Start sniffing all 'round there 'cause he knew, he knew

He knew that Dirty Dan was behind the next snowdrift

And Sergeant Preston said

"I own King, I own you great husky"

And that great husky said, "Aooo ohh"

Sergeant Preston said, "Get him, boy

This place is too sick of him"

Says, "Tail him, that big dog

Just tear through that snow [Incomprehensible]"

Them ears back at, tail stacking straight up

And there just shakin his head side to side

And breathing fire, he said, "Aooo ohh"

Well, they brought that villain to justice

He didn't even put up a fight

When he saw that big dog charging at him

He almost died of fright

And Sergeant Preston of the Yukon

Is proud 'cause he's done it again

He got his man, you can hear him say

"Who needs Rin Tin Tin"

He said, "King, this case is closed"

And that dog said, "Aooo ohh"Other Ray Stevens songs
