Way up North North to Alaska
Way up North North to Alaska
North to Alaska, we go North, the rush is on
North to Alaska, we go North, the rush is on
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of 92
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 South-East 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 a-runnin wild in the Land of the Midnight Sun
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of 91
Where the river is windin, big nuggets theyre findin
North to Alaska, go North, the rush is on
Way up North North to Alaska
Way up North North to Alaska
North to Alaska, we go North, the rush is on
North to Alaska, we go North, the rush is on
George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said, Sam, youre lookin at a lonely, lonely man
Id trade all the gold thats buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jennys hand
Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Remember, Sam, a true love is so hard to find
Id 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 theyre findin
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
