North to Alaska (Audio)

(Chorus:)
|: Way up north, north to Alaska :|
|: North to Alaska, they go north, the rush is on :|

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of '92,
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 the 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 1901.

(Bridge:)
Where the river is winding, big nuggets they're finding
|: North to Alaska, they're going north, the rush is on :|

Chorus

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand,
said: Sam, you are looking 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.

Bridge
