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 south-east 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-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
|
They're goin' 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"
|
|
"'Cos 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 south-east of Nome"
|
|
Where the river is winding
|
Big nuggets they're finding
