North To Alaska Composer(s): Michael Phillips Performer(s): Johnny Horton; and various other artists
North to Alaska! Go north, the rush is on 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 Below 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 them thru the snow With the northern lights a 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
(Way up north, north to Alaska) (Way up north, north to Alaska)
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 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 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 windin' big nuggets they're findin' North to Alaska go north the rush is on
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
(Way up north, north to Alaska) (Way up north, north to Alaska)
Fade
(Way up north, north to Alaska) (Way up north, north to Alaska)
