North to Alaska

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of 1902
With George as his partner and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon River

Found the Bonanza gold
Beneath 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 Mc Cord 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
Way up north, north to Alaska
North to Alaska, go north the rush is on

Well, 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 buried in this land

For one little band of gold
To place on sweet little Jeannie's hand
'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time"

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
Way up north, north to Alaska
North to Alaska, go north the rush is on
