North To Alaska

(Way up north way up north) north to Alaska 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

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 nineteen-one

Where the river is winding big nuggets they're finding

North to Alaska go north the rush is on north to Alaska go north the rush is on

(Way up north way up north) north to Alaska a-go north the rush is on

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 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

Where the river is winding...
