Nanook Of The North

(album: Pounding The Pavement - 2018)

Nanook, Nanook
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook of the North
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook of the North

On a seal skin sled
The huskies led
Through the ice and snow
Where the northern lights
In the dark cold nights
Guide you where to go

In the native land
In their clan
Searching for a meal

With harpoon in hand
As they planned
They got themselves a seal

Polar bear run
Midnight sun
Arctic frost
What is lost

It's the the story of
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook of the North
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook of the North

In the igloo home
Shaped like a dome
They lay down to sleep
Protection at night
From the wolves that bite
A good precaution to keep

Peaceful place
Becomes a disgrace
Ravaged land
The damage grand

It's the legend of
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook of the North
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook of the North

On a steel made sled
The engines rev
Through the ice and snow
With the man made lights
Propane heats the nights
And the oil drill does go

Invade the land
Take what they can
The ultimate raw deal
Money in hand
As they planned
The truth can't be concealed

Nature's place
A truth to face
Right or claim
Take the blame
Ravaged land
Damage grand

It's the tragedy of
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook of the North
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook of the North

Nanook, Nanook
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook of the North
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook, Nanook
Nanook of the North
