North To Alaska

Way up north to Alaska.

Way up north to Alaska.

North to Alaska,

They're goin' North, the rush is on.

North to Alaska,

They're goin' 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 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 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 winding,

Big nuggets they're finding.

North to Alaska,

They're goin' 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 Ginnie's hand.

Because 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 Ginnie, a honeymoon home.

Below that old white mountain

just a little south-east of Nome."

Where the river is winding,

Big nuggets they're finding.

North to Alaska,

They're goin' North, the rush is on.
