North to Alaska

North To Alaska - Boxcar Willie

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of 1902

With George Pratt his partner an' 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

To the valleys far below

He talked to his team of huskies

As he mushed on through the snow

With the northern lights a-running wild

In the land of the midnight sun

Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of 1901

Where the river is winding

Big nuggets they're finding

North to Alaska

We're goin' North the rush is on

Way up north

Way up north

North to Alaska

We're goin' North the rush is on

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand

Said Sam you're a-lookin' at a mighty 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

For 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 her Hollywood 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

We're goin' North the rush is on

Way up north

Way up north

North to Alaska

We're goin' North the rush is on

North to Alaska

We're goin' North the rush is on

North to Alaska

We're goin' North the rush is on

North to Alaska

We're goin' North the rush is on
