C G7
I'll make my way this Saturday to my darling oh so true
C
Up north so far neath the daylight star & she lives in an igloo

>From Edmonton I'll make my way to pay for the wrong I've done
F C
My Little Eskimo where the moon shines low
G7 C
in the land of the midnight sun
 
C G7
I left the north to travel south many months ago
 
But I did find that true love is blind down
C
here where there ain't no snow
G7
Of all the girls that's in the world for me there's only one

My Little Eskimo where the moon shines low
G7 C
in the land of the midnight sun

Now polar bear & walrus hair may cover up her form

But don't you know 88 below it isn't very warm
G7
So rain or snow I'm a gonna go cause she's the only one
F C
My Little Eskimo where the moon shines low
G7 C
in the land of the midnight sun
 
C
In the cool of the night when the northern lights
G7
are flashing everywhere
 
Well I'd be nose to nose & love soon grows
C
in the world of a way up there
G7
So goodbye Jack & I won't be back, I'm off to see someone
F C
My Little Eskimo where the moon shines low
G7 C
in the land of the midnight sun
 
C G7
I'll make my way this Saturday to my darling oh so true

Up north so far neath the daylight star & she lives in an igloo
