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 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 nineteen-one
|
Where the river is winding big nuggets they're finding
|
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 a-go north the rush is on

|
George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
|
Said Sam you're a looking 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
|
Below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome
|
Where the river is winding...
