SONG OF THE MOUNTIES
From "Rose Marie"
(Rudolf Friml / Oscar Hammerstein II / Otto Harbach / Herbert Stothart)

Nelson Eddy


Far over the snow what are those voices?
(Over the snow)
They sing as they go.
What do those voices (call)

Look out for the Mounties
(Here come the Mounties)
We come ... somebody hide, somebody better hide!

On thru' the hail
Like a pack of angry wolves on the trail,
(We are after you) dead or alive
We are out to get you dead or alive
(And we'll get you soon.)

If you're the one
Better run, better run away
Son you are done
Throw your gun, throw your gun away
Here come the Mounties to get the man they're after now.

(Musical Interlude)

On thru' the hail
Like a pack of angry wolves on the trail,
(We are after you) dead or alive
We are out to get you dead or alive
(And we'll get you soon.)

If you're the one
Better run, better run away
Son you are done
Throw your gun, throw your gun away
Here come the Mounties to get the man they're after now.
