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
|
Just below that old White
|
Mountain just a little
|
southeast of Nome
|
Sam crossed the majestic
|
mountains to valleys far below
|
He talked to his team of huskys
|
as he mushed on through the snow
|
With the northern lights
|
a running wild
|
in the land of the midnight sun
|
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man
|
in the year of neneteen-one
|
Where the river is windin'
|
big nuggets they're findin'
|
North to Alaska a-go
|

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 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 build for my Jenny
|
a honeymoon home
|
Just below that old White
|
Mountain just a little
|
southeast of Nome
|
Where the river is windin'
|
big nuggets they're findin'
