I got a stake one time and wandered Outside,
And I’m telling you I surely put on “dog,”
  But they got in between me and my poke
  They sure did clean me
And I hit for Dixon’s Entrance, on the “hog,”
  And still, I like Alaska.

I don’t suppose a man will live to beat it,
Some day we’ll quit this land of ice and snow,
  And when the Devil gits us,
  And finds a place that fits us,
And we’re working on the sulphur beds below,
  I know I’ll like Alaska.
