[00:00.00]I'm a Mountie Who Never Got His Man - George Stoll/MGM Orchestra
[00:14.49]Oh I'm on the trail
[00:16.59]I'm over hill and dale
[00:18.54]And I ride ride ride as only I can
[00:22.39]But oh the shame
[00:24.45]Everybody knows my name
[00:26.52]I'm the mountie who never got his man
[00:30.60]There's a killer at large
[00:32.63]The bugle sounds the charge
[00:34.42]To the saddles men and give a brave account
[00:36.96]
[00:38.17]But what remorse
[00:40.20]For I can't get on my horse
[00:42.68]I'm a mountie who cannot even mount
[00:45.51]
[00:46.51]As I ride through every town and county
[00:50.44]Little boys yell Look Ma That's a mountie
[00:54.49]My buddies mock me as I sally forth
[00:57.73]
[00:58.73]To you I'm McCorkle of the mounties
[01:01.82]
[01:02.82]To them I'm chinook of the north
[01:06.74]I've been on the force
[01:08.91]Even longer than my horse
[01:10.85]If you wonder why they've kept me here so long
[01:15.13]Though I can't track men through the snows
[01:17.99]I'm the only mountie who knows
[01:22.46]Every word of the mountie's marching song
[01:26.55]For we march march march
[01:28.64]And we ride ride ride
[01:30.76]And we march and we ride against the foe
[01:34.56]It's a long long way
[01:36.69]To icy Hudson Ba y y y
[01:41.22]So I don't think that I will go
[01:44.70]
[01:46.70]You can laugh but once I almost got my man
[01:48.54]Why don't you tell us about it Barney
[01:50.13]Well it was the year of the Caribou famine
[01:52.21]
[01:53.34]Saskatoon Dan was his name
[01:55.82]He came from one of the finger lakes
[01:57.18]So we called him Pinky
[01:59.47]He was a mean treacherous hombre
[02:02.02]Always sayin' things behind your back
[02:04.42]Like Stick 'em up
[02:05.85]
[02:06.49]Now Dan was stuck on a little Eskimo girl
[02:08.56]Called Ogunda
[02:10.58]And one day Dan had too much whale meat
[02:13.51]And went blubber happy
[02:16.02]So that night he snuck into Ogunda's igloo
[02:19.25]But she repulsed him
[02:20.83]But Dan didn't care
[02:21.98]'Cause he was mighty repulsive too
[02:24.69]Well sir it seems Ogunda
[02:27.25]Was sweet on another eskimo called Fongalanga
[02:28.64]
[02:30.58]So in a fit of jealousy Dan cut off her nose
[02:32.77]
[02:33.85]You see he didn't want her kissin' anyone else
[02:36.31]
[02:37.00]Yes he cut off her nose and away he ran
[02:40.26]So they sent me out to get Saskatoon Dan
[02:44.21]So I march march march
[02:46.35]And I ride ride ride
[02:48.28]A lookin' for Saskatoon Dan
[02:52.13]I ain't lookin' for that little bluebird
[02:55.18]That lives on the hill
[02:58.74]Like a beguine that was never began
[03:02.68]I'm the mountie
[03:04.73]Who never got his man
[03:08.18]Or woman
[03:10.21]I'm the mountie
[03:12.00]Who never got his m a a a n
