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
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 a huskies as he mushed on through the snow
With the Northern Lights a-runnin' wild in the land of the Midnight Sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one

Chorus:
Where the river is windin', big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska, a-go north, the rush is on
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-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 Ginny'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 Ginny a honeymoon home
Below that old White Mountain just a little Southeast of Nome

Chorus:
Where the river is windin', big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska, a-go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska, a-go north, the rush is on
