North to Alaska I go north the rush is on
|
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of 1902
|
With George as 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
|
They crossed the majestic mountain to valleys far below
|
He talked to his team of huskys as he mushed on through the snow
|
Well the northern lights are running 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 I go north the rush is on
|
(Way up north) north to Alaska (way up north) north to Alaska
|
North to Alaska I go north the rush is on

|
George turned to Sam with this gold in his hand
|
Said Sam you're a looking at a lonely lonely man
|
I'd trade all the gold that's burried in this land
|
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jeannie's hand
|
For 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 Jeannie a honeymoon home
|
Below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome
|
Where the river is winding...
|
(Way up north) north to Alaska...
