North to Alaska
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of 1902
With George as 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 mountain to valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskys as he mushed on through the snow
Well the northern lights were running wild in the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of 1901
Where the river is winding big nuggets they're finding
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
(Way up north north to Alaska...
George turned to Sam with this gold in his hand
Said Sam you're a looking at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's burried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jeannie'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 Jeannie a honeymoon home
Just below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome
Where the river is winding...
North to Alaska go north the rush is on north to Alaska go north the rush is on
