Aska Me |
| Aska me about Alaska, if you care a tinker’s damn |
| What I have to say about the Russian Bear and Uncle Sam |
| Vitus Bering rediscovered Streights that somehow Bear his name |
| After they had been discovered many times before he came |
| Alexander Baranov, Administra (i)tor to the Czar |
| Sat in Sitka with his books and paintings, eating caviar |
| Then, in 1867, Seward bought it for a song; |
| Sing a song of seven million, and a fifth of something Strong |
| Playing for itself in gold, some twenty times the price he payed |
| «Seward's Folly» was, by golly, where a killing could be made |
| 1912, a territory, 1952, a state |
| All the Tlingits were so sorry, Uncle Sam had come so late |
| When the exploitation’s over and the last exploiter’s gone |
| Then whatever left of life and limb can try to carry on |
