As my sled races north
Out of the force of an Arctic storm
It's a merciful gift as my mind
Starts to drift and I'm warm

For here in this moment
I know I'm no longer cold
Wolverina, my dream of you
Burns like the sun in my soul

Oh Wolverina, queen of the tundra
I'm under your spell
Let the sun melt this distance
Let the rest just go to Hell

Well the paws of my huskies
They grow encrusted with snow
Though it's quiet and clear
The temperature's near fifty below
   Wolverina
   There's a frozen world between us
   Where the voices I hear
   Oh they're sounding so near
   Wolverina,
   Mandolins and concertinas,
   Playin' on the wind
   I fear I will not win Wolverina
For she's at her parents' in Nome
There in her home with a plan
If I will win this purse
We will marry and purchase some land

But now I don't know,
The snow looks just like a long-lost friend
Oh and if I lay down now
I know I'll never get up again
   Wolverina
   There's a frozen world between us
   The distance I feel
   It seems so real
   Wolverina,
   Mandolins and concertinas,
   Blowin' on the wind
   I fear I will not win
Come and call my name again
I fear I will not win
Wolverina
Wolverina
