North to Alaska
Journey to Love: Unveiling the Golden Tale of North to Alaska
Lyrics
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
Big Sam embarked from Seattle in 1892.
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
Accompanied by his partners George Pratt and brother Billy.
They crossed the Yukon river and they found the bonanza gold
They crossed the Yukon river and discovered bonanza gold.
Below that old white mountain
Below the old white mountain, slightly southeast of Nome.
Just a little south-east of Nome
Sam traversed the Majestic mountains to valleys below.
Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
Talking to his huskies while mushing through the snow.
He talked to his team of huskies
Communication with his husky team continued.
As he mushed on through the snow
Amidst the northern lights in the land of the midnight sun.
With the northen lights a-runnin' wild
Expressing the wild beauty of the northern lights.
In the land of the midnight sun
Sam McCord, a formidable man, in 1901.
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man
The river winding, significant gold discoveries happening.
In the year of nineteen-one
Encouraging the journey northward as the gold rush unfolds.
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
George, with gold in hand, acknowledges loneliness.
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Expresses willingness to trade gold for love and companionship.
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Desire for a small band of gold to give to Jenny.
George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand
A reminder that true love is rare and valuable.
Said Sam you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man
Plans to build a honeymoon home for Jenny near Nome.
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
Reiteration of the location below the old white mountain.
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand
Emphasizing the continuing gold discoveries in the region.
'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Encouraging the journey northward for the gold rush.
Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find
Reiteration of the call to head north for the gold rush.
I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home
George, with gold in hand, acknowledges loneliness.
Below that old white mountain
Expresses willingness to trade gold for love and companionship.
Just a little south-east of Nome
Desire for a small band of gold to give to Jenny.
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
A reminder that true love is rare and valuable.
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Plans to build a honeymoon home for Jenny near Nome.
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Reiteration of the location below the old white mountain.
