Lyrics

[ti:north to alaska]
[00:01.398] North to alaska
[00:07.336] Go north,the rush is on
[00:18.336] Big sam left seattle in the year of ninety two
[00:24.212] With george pratt,his partner and brother billy,too
[00:30.275] They crossed the yukon river and found the bonanza gold
[00:36.139] Beneath that old white mountain,just a little southeast of nome
[00:41.954] Sam crossed the majestic mountains
[00:44.638] To the valleys far below
[00:48.16] He talked to his team of huskies
[00:50.703] As he mushed on through the snow
[00:54.17] With the northern lights runnin'wild
[00:56.891] In the land of the midnight sun
[01:00.16] Yes sam mccord was a mighty man
[01:02.891] In the year of nineteen-one
[01:06.17] Where the river is windin'
[01:08.636] Big nuggets they're findin'
[01:11.892] North to alaska
[01:15.17] Go north,the rush is on
[01:17.704] North to alaska
[01:21.267] Go north,the rush is on
[01:30.206] North to alaska
[01:32.517] Go north,the rush is on
[01:36.205] George turned to sam with his gold in his hand
[01:41.641] Said,"sam,you're lookin'at a lonely,lonely man
[01:47.955] I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
[01:54.77] For one small band of gold to place on sweet jenny's hand
[02:00.75] 'cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
[02:06.141] remember,a true love is so hard to find
[02:12.331] I'd build for my jenny a honeymoon home
[02:18.206] Beneath that old white mountain
[02:20.957] Just a little southeast of nome."
[02:24.394] Where the river is windin'
[02:27.78] Big nuggets they're findin'
[02:30.332] North to alaska
[02:33.207] Go north,the rush is on
[02:36.707] North to alaska
[02:39.80] Go north,the rush in on
[02:43.644] North to alaska
