North To Alaska |
North to Alaska a-go north the rush is on |
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two |
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy, too |
They crossed the Yukon River and found the bonanza gold |
Below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome |
Sam crossed the majestic mountains to valleys far below |
He talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow |
With the northern lights a-running wild in the land of the midnight sun |
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one |
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they’re findin' |
North to Alaska a-go north the rush is on |
Way up north (north to Alaska) way up north (north to Alaska) |
North to Alaska a-go north the rush is on |
George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand |
Said Sam you’re a-lookin' at a lonely, lonely man |
I’d trade all the gold that’s buried in this land |
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny’s hand |
'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time |
Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find |
I’d build for my Jenny a honeymoon home |
Below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome |
Where the river is windin'… |
