Louise and Chris
Uncles’ kids numbered
over a dozen
And Louise is my
first cousin.
Just in case you didn’t know
We all grew up in Old Crow.
Uncle Stephen is their pappy
And we all grew up happy.
Auntie Ethel is their mother
And I’m just like
their brother.
We grew up in the
age of gaslamp
And Louise became
a ski champ.
With only Didoo I was alone
So they took me
as their own.
If you don’t know
about this
Louise met and
married Chris.
Louise found the
perfect man
An’ he happened to
be a Thaltan.
He chose my Gwich’in
cousin Louise
And the lived down at Dease.
They raised three
kids of their own
An’ adopting 23 they
were never alone.
Today their marriage
years number 35
An’ Louise said “There’s
many more to arrive!”
I know their love
is really strong
That’s why their
marriage lasted long.
Together they live a good life
‘Cause Chris found
a good wife.
