Thanks so much, Sandra! I had so many bad mistakes! Here is the correct version that Sandra found: Karen Kane Written by: Rachel Harrington A shovel, a pick, an axe and a hoe Cast my lot with the Yukon gold Pockets full of greed and lust Angels in the devil's dust Cross Quilkoot Pass with an old pack mule Miners and men call me a fool A woman like you shouldn't break no sweat A woman like me just running to forget Karen Kane come back again The bed you left unmade is cold Oh, that child, taken so young A life unlived, a song unsung Got me a job at old Dutch Kate's Keep a deck stacked full of aces and eights I keep every last dime on a two dollar dance And fifteen cents on whiskey romance Strut your stuff when you flash that loot In your Mukluk shoes and your Makinaw suit Pockets deep on a Klondike King About enough to make a harlot sing Karen Kane come back again The bed you left unmade is cold Oh, that child, taken so young A life unlived, a song unsung That midnight sun in Dawson town Is all I want for a wedding gown So give my best to Napoleon Jack But tell him I ain't never coming back
