C                                                   G7
I'll make my way this Saturday to my darling oh so true
                                                            C
Up north so far neath the daylight star & she lives in an igloo
                                                          G7 
From Edmonton I'll make my way to pay for the wrong I've done
          F                 C
My Little Eskimo where the moon shines low 
        G7                   C
in the land of the midnight sun




C                                              G7
I left the north to travel south many months ago

But I did find that true love is blind down 
                            C
here where there ain't no snow
                                                          G7
Of all the girls that's in the world for me there's only one
          F                 C
My Little Eskimo where the moon shines low 
        G7                   C
in the land of the midnight sun




C                                              G7
Now polar bear & walrus hair may cover up her form
                                           C 
But don't you know 88 below it isn't very warm
                                                     G7
So rain or snow I'm a gonna go cause she's the only one
          F                 C
My Little Eskimo where the moon shines low 
        G7                   C
in the land of the midnight sun




C               
In the cool of the night when the northern lights 
                    G7
are flashing everywhere

Well I'd be nose to nose & love soon grows 
                           C
in the world of a way up there
                                                      G7
So goodbye Jack & I won't be back, I'm off to see someone
          F                 C
My Little Eskimo where the moon shines low 
        G7                   C
in the land of the midnight sun




C                                                   G7
I'll make my way this Saturday to my darling oh so true
                                                            C
Up north so far neath the daylight star & she lives in an igloo
                                                          G7 
From Edmonton I'll make my way to pay for the wrong I've done
          F                 C
My Little Eskimo where the moon shines low 
        G7                   C
in the land of the midnight sun
          F                 C
My Little Eskimo where the moon shines low 
        G7                   C
