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 |
|
Below 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 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 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 south 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 is on |
|
North to Alaska |
|
Go north, the rush is on |
|
Well North to Alaska |
|
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 |
|
Way up North... |
