Hank Snow The Restless one Lyrics:
Words and Music by Hank Snow

This old train is speeding southbound and her
whistle moans the blues; And my heart's as cold
as the ice and snow that fills these walkin'
shoes. That old smoke-stack keeps barkin' back
to me and seems to say: We'll carry you on, oh,
Restless One.

I had mushed my way on a Husky sleigh, to the land
of Midnight Sun; And I kissed the squaw at the
wigwam door, many times I faced a gun. Brown
Eskimo didn't want me to go, when I told her I
must run. And she gave me the name of the Restless
One.

Then I strolled into a tavern in that frozen land
afar; Where I met a beautiful Indian maid, she was

known as the Morning Star. Her eyes were bright
like the Northern Lights, when they chase the
Arctic moon. And I knew she was born for the
Restless One.

As we danced I gently kissed her in the path of
the morning sun; Love was sweet and oh, so
blissful, with a romance just begun. The Restless
One had gone and fell in love with the Yukon
Queen. And she fell in love with the Restless One.

Through the door came an angry red-skin, on his
head was a beaded band; I was courtin' the wife
of an Indian chief, who ruled with an iron hand.
With a knife he run, but I pulled my gun and I
shot him to the floor. Then the hunt began for the
Restless One.

Many days and nights they trailed me out under the
northern sky; Where the wild birds song was
mournful and the timber wolf did cry. But they
tracked me down and I'm 'Frisco bound, I've
made my final run. It's the end of the line for
the Restless One.
