North To Alaska Lyrics

Way up north, north to Alaska

Way up north, north to Alaska



North to Alaska,

They're going north, the rush is on.

North to Alaska,

They're going 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 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 1901.



Where the river is winding,

Big nuggets they're finding.

North to Alaska,

They're going north, the rush is on.



Way up north, north to Alaska

Way up north, north to Alaska



North to Alaska,

They're going north, the rush is on.

North to Alaska,

They're going north, the rush is on.



George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand,

Said, "Sam, you're a-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, little Ginnie'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 build for my Ginnie a honeymoon home

Below that old, white mountain just a little southeast of Nome."



Where the river is winding,

Big nuggets they're finding.

North to Alaska,

They're going north, the rush is on.

North to Alaska,

They're going north, the rush is on.



Way up north, north to Alaska

Way up north, north to Alaska



Way up north, north to Alaska

Way up north, north to Alaska
