Bill Thwing - Yaka, Give A Howl For Me

She's running in the waters
Of the great and mighty Bow
She's sliding down the glaciers of my mind
I hear her voice a-barking
Midst the cawing of the crows
But what's the use, I know my dog is gone
Yaka, Yaka, give a howl for me, Owooo
I Know you're happy way up there
In the land beyond the shining sea
We were riding down old Number One
The traffic it was light
Old Yaka dog was running out ahead
I gave a yell, she cut across
Didn't see the truck
It hit her and it rolled and knocked her dead
Yaka, Yaka, give a howl for me, Owooo
I Know you're happy way up there
In the land beyond the shining sea
We dragged her off into the bush
The kids and Joy and me
We took her to the forest cool
Where she would want to be
There on a mossy bank she lay
Beneath an old spruce tree
We buried her, the kids and Joy and me
Yaka, Yaka, give a howl for me, Owooo
I Know you're happy way up there
In the land beyond the shining sea
That devil highway kills to much
Of sheep and elk and bear
But I never thought about it much
Til my dog got killed up there
I hate that devil highway
With all it's flashing cars
That kills the creatures of the woods
And sends them to the stars
Yaka, Yaka, give a howl for me, Owooo
I Know you're happy way up there
In the land beyond the shining sea
I wish it never happened
Cause now I feel so bad
When I think about my yellow dog
And all the fun we had
Romping in the meadows
And running in the woods
Chasing the rainbows in our dreams
Yaka, Yaka, give a howl for me, Owooo
I Know you're happy way up there
In the land beyond the shining sea
