North To Alaska Lyrics

North To Alaska

(Mike Phillips)

 

 North to Alaska

 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

 Beneath 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 huskies

 as he mushed on through the snow

 With the northern lights 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'

 North to Alaska

 Go north,  the rush is on

 

 Where the river is windin'

 Big nuggets they're findin'

 North to Alaska

 Go north, the rush is on

 

 North to Alaska

 Go north, the rush is on

 

 George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand

 Said, "Sam, you're 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 Jenny's hand

 

 'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time

 You know Sam, a true love is so hard to find

 I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home

 Beneath that old white mountain

 Just a little southeast of Nome."

 

 Where the river is windin'

 Big nuggets they're findin'

 North to Alaska

 Go north, the rush is on

 

 North to Alaska

 Go north, the rush in on

 

 North to Alaska

 Go north, the rush is on

 

 Way up north

 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

 Go north, the rush is on

 

 North to Alaska

 Go north, the rush is on
