Go North
Big Sam had left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
And just a few years later they found the bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain
Just a little south-east of Nome
He crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
Sam talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed on through the snow
With the northen lights a-runnin' 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 windin' big nuggets they're findin'
Go North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Go North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Now, George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all his 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 south-east of Nome
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
Go North to Alaska go north the rush is on
It took mighty man like Sam McCord to tame a town like Nome. The Yukon freedom fighting men had the gold all their own.
It stand up to a grizzly bear and put him in his place. Was the tough known Alaska that Canarian bird sang base.
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
Go North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Go North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Go North to Alaska go north the rush is on.
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
And just a few years later they found the bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain
Just a little south-east of Nome
He crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
Sam talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed on through the snow
With the northen lights a-runnin' 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 windin' big nuggets they're findin'
Go North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Go North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Now, George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all his gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand

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