North To Alaska Lyrics - Jerry Lee Lewis

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of 1902 

With George as his partner and brother Billy too 

They crossed the Yukon River 

Found the Bonanza gold 

Beneath that old White Mountain 

Just a little southeast of Nome 

Sam crossed the majestic mountain 

To valleys far below 

He talked to his team of huskys

As he mushed on through the snow 

Well, the northern lights were running wild 

In the land of the midnight sun 

Yes, Sam Mc Cord was a mighty man in the year of 1901 

Where the river is winding 

Big nuggets they're finding 

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 

Well, George turned to Sam with this gold in his hand 

Said, "Sam you're a looking at a lonely, lonely man 

I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land 

For one little band of gold 

To place on sweet little Jeannie's hand 

'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time"

Where the river is winding 

Big nuggets they're finding 

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
