North To Alaska Lyrics - Babe

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 they 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 northen 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 

North to Alaska go north the rush is on 

George turns 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 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 south-east 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
