Song Lyrics

(Mike Phillips)

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

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
Beneath that old white mountain, just a little southeast 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 runnin` 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 windin`
Big nuggets they`re findin`
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

Where the river is windin`
Big nuggets they`re findin`
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said, "Sam, you`re 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 Jenny`s hand

`Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
You know 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."

Where the river is windin`
Big nuggets they`re findin`
North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush in on

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on

Way up north
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
Go north, the rush is on

North to Alaska
Go north, the rush is on
