Well, I've been searchin', I've been searchin'
  I've been searchin' every week and day
  Well, I've been searchin', I've been searchin'
  I've been searchin' every which way
  Like the North West Mountain you know I'll bring her in someday
    Well, if I have to climb a mountain, you know I will
  And if I have to swim a river, you know I will
    No matter where she goes, Oh Lord, you know I will
  And if I have to climb a mountain, you know I will
  And if I have to swim a river, you know I will
  I know she's hiding up there
  If you marry him don't you know I'll find her, child I will
    Well Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade gonna put that child on me
  No matter where she's hiding
  She gonna tell me you're coming
  I'm gonna walk right down that street just like bulldog jumping
  Cause I've been searchin', I've been searchin'
  I've been searchin' every which way
  Like the North West Mountain you know I'll bring her in someday
