Our family grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia but my father was born in Western Shore, Nova Scotia. My father "lived and breathed" Hank Snow music and followed Hank Snow's rise to fame. My father could play and sing any Hank Snow tune on the guitar and won several contests too! Truly amazing! Of course, us four siblings were subjected to every Hank Snow album on my father's record turntable...complete with every needle scratch! Nice to see that Tales of the Yukon is alive and well on RUclips. The Cremation of Sam McGee is one of my favorites! Love it!
Mr Old DC... Great story... Makes me miss Antigonish Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦....My father was from Amherst area my Great Grandfather and GrandFather St Peters area.... Here I am missing the Yukon where I lived for awhile and seen your comments and got home sick for the Celtic Gaelic land of New Scotland 🏴. My Grandmother taught school there. Thanks for your comments my whole family big Hank Snow fans. 🙋Greetings from Missouri USA 🇺🇸
I have searched for this version since 1970 when I heard it on the radio one night in Merriden Western Australia.
Thank you for sticking to the poem, Hank. 🇨🇦
My dad loved both of these guys, it was so perfect at his service...
thank you Robert Service
Thank you for this...
Nice ! My dad’s favorite Robert Service rendition was by Stuart Hamblin, his chorus of the poems was very catchy….check it out!
