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
