North to Alaska Lyrics

Dwight Yoakam - North To Alaska

North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of '92,
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 south-east of Nome.
Sam crossed the majestic mountains to the valleys far below.
He talked to his team of huskies, as they 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 1901.
And where the river is windin',
Big nuggets they're findin'.
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on.
'Cause 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-east of Nome.
Yeah 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.
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.
