"North To Alaska" lyrics

North to Alaska, we go north the rush is on
North to Alaska, we 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 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 they're findin'
North to Alaska, we go north the rush is on
North to Alaska, we go north the rush is on

George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam, you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man
Well, 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 really 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 sweet little honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain just a little south-east of Nome

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska, we go north the rush is on
North to Alaska, we go north the rush is on
