Sam Magee
Recorded by Johnny Horton
Written by Jimmie Driftwood

C F
There's a valley by the ol' North Pole
C G7
Where ol' Sam Magee died in search of gold
C F
Where ever I wander in memories
C G7 C
I see the smoke from the pipe of Sam Magee
G7 C
(He sees the smoke from the pipe of Sam Magee)

G7 C
We had wandered way up there above the Klondike
G7 C
Where we found the mighty mountain made of gold
G7 C
There old Sam he got sick and made me promise
G7 C
That if he die I wouldn't leave him in that cold
G7 C
(That if he die wouldn't leave him in that cold)

F
The next morning he was cold and stiff and lifeless

So I dragged him forty days upon my sled

Till I found a final driftwood near the valley
G7
It was there I got the notion in my head

(It was there he got the notion in his head)

C F
I took out my matches and I built a fire
C G7
And I laid old Sam upon the funeral pyre
C F
He sat up a grinnin' with his pipe in his mouth
C G7 C
He sang ho ho this is mighty like the south
G7 C
(He sang ho ho this is mighty like the south)

F
The flames around him had a heavenly glow
C G7
And the northern lights were just one big rainbow
C F
He sat there a grinnin' with his pipe in his mouth
C G7 C
He sang ho ho this is mighty like the south

G7 C
(He sang ho ho this is mighty like the south)
