North To Alaska

Way up north (north to Alaska)
way up north (north to Alaska)
North to Alaska a-go
north the rush is on
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
Just 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 huskys
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 neneteen-one
Where the river is windin'
big nuggets they're findin'
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
Just below that old White
Mountain just a little
southeast of Nome
Where the river is windin'
big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska a-go
