Star of Alaska - photo by Emil Petrinic

The Packers' ships are headin' North;
    There's one that sails today.
Her skipper has his orders
    To proceed to Bristol Bay.


Her anchor's up; her tops'ls set,
    The sky looks kind o' murky;
But fair or foul, she's comin' back
    With choice Alaska turkey.
