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
    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."
