Lyrics
1. Out in the land of Midnight Sun
There is a story told
How once a Princess’ heart was won
Won by a warrior bold
She was romantic, he was wise
He knew just how to woo
Late one night, moon was bright
He sang to Caraboo
Chorus
Sweet little Caraboo
I’d give my life for you
My heart is glowing,
My love is growing
For you my Caraboo
2. Next day when Morning Sun arose
He came to claim her hand
Just then a tribe of foreign foes
Swooped down upon their land
War-cry throughout that forest rang
Light flashed in Big Chief’s eye
Caraboo, brave and true
Wept as he said good bye
