NORTH TO ALASKA by Johnny Horton
Big sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy to
They crossed the Yukon river and found the Bonanza gold
Beneath that old white mountain,just a little south east on Nome
Chorus
Where the river is winding ,big nuggets they're finding
North to Alaska,the go north rush is on
They crossed the Majestic mountains to the valley far below
As he talked to his team of huskies,as they 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 ninety-one
Repeat Chorus
George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam you're looking at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all this gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jennie'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 Jenny,a honeymoon home
Beneath that old white mountain
Just a little southeast of Nome
Repeat Chorus
