HistoryThe song originated in northern British Columbia and the Yukon, possibly during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898.[1] It was first published in the Yellowknife Prospector in 1939, which claimed that the song was written in 1919 by four men working in the Yukon.[2] Scottish-Canadian poet Robert W. Service also published a ballad with this name in Twenty Bath-Tub Ballads, 1939, claiming that he had written the song in 1911;[2] however, Service's ballad is significantly different from the traditional lyrics.[3] There are many other versions that exist.[1] It has become the theme song for silver miners in Cobalt, Ontario and fur trappers in The Pas, Manitoba.[1] ThemeThe song describes a romance between the narrator and a "husky dusky maiden" in the Canadian Arctic.[1] The "ice worms" referenced are not actual ice worms (genus Mesenchytraeus), which the original authors probably would not have known existed. Instead, it refers to "ice worm cocktails", the practice of drawing eyes on pieces of spaghetti and putting it into a cocktail to frighten travellers. This practice was described by, and may have even originated with, Robert Service's poem "The Ballad of the Ice-worm Cocktail".[4][2] Recordings
