North to Alaska Lyrics
North to Alaska - Twentieth Century-Fox Studio Orchestra/HarrySukman (Piano)/Lionel Newman/Mike Philips
Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
North to Alaska
You go north the rush is on
North to Alaska
I 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 south-east of Nome
Sam crossed the majestic mountains (mush)
To the valleys far below (mush)
He talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed on through the snow (mush)
With the northern lights a-running wild (mush)
In the land of the midnight sun (mush)
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man (mush)
In the year of nineteen-one (mush)
Where the river is winding
Big nuggets they're finding
North to Alaska
They go North the rush is on
A-way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
North to Alaska
They go north the rush is on
North to Alaska
They go north the rush is on
George turned to Sam
With his 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 small band of gold to place
On sweet little Ginnie'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 Ginnie a honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain
Just a little south-east of Nome
Where the river is winding
Big nuggets they're finding
North to Alaska
They go north the rush is on
North to Alaska
They go North the rush is on
Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north
