Dwight Yoakam - North To Alaska lyrics
[Dwight Yoakam - North To Alaska lyrics]
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 on through 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
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 south 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
North to Alaska go north, the rush is on
Well North to Alaska
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
Way up North
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 on through 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
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

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

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
North to Alaska go north, the rush is on
Well North to Alaska
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
Way up North
