North to Alaska
We're going north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
We're going north, the rush is on
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of `92
With George Grant 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 valley far below
He called to his team of 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
Where the river is winding
Big nuggets they're finding
North to Alaska
We're going north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
We're going north, the rush is on
Way up north
Way up north
North to Alaska
We're going north, the rush is on
George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
He said "Sam, you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man
I'd give all the 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 give to my Jenny a honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain just a little southeast of Nome"
Where the river's winding
Big nuggets they're finding
North to Alaska
We're going north, the rush is on
Way up north
Way up north
North to Alaska
We're going north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
We're going north, the rush is on
