North to Alaska

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
they found the bonanza gold

Below that old white mountain
Just a little south east of Nome
Sam crossed the Majestic mountains
to the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed on through the snow
With the northen lights a runnin 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 theyre findin

North to Alaska go north the rush is on

North to Alaska go north the rush is on

George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam youre lookin at a lonely lonely man

Id trade all the gold thats buried in this land

For one small band of gold to place

on sweet little Jennys hand

Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find

Id build for my Jenny a honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain

Just a little south east of Nome
Where the river is windin big nuggets theyre findin

North to Alaska go north the rush is on

North to Alaska go north the rush is on
