North to Alaska
Gold Rush Love Story: North to Alaska Adventures
Lyrics
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
Big Sam departed 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 journeyed across the Yukon River and discovered valuable gold.
Below that old white mountain
Located beneath an old white mountain, southeast of Nome.
Just a little south-east of Nome
Sam traversed Majestic mountains to the valleys below.
Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
He communicated with his husky team while navigating through the snow.
He talked to his team of huskies
Addressing his team of huskies as they continued their journey.
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
Describing the captivating northern lights.
In the land of the midnight sun
Sam McCord, a powerful figure in 1901.
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man
Expressing the urgency and excitement of the gold rush.
In the year of nineteen-one
Reiteration of the rush to Alaska for gold.
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
Describing the gold-rich areas along winding rivers.
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Encouraging others to head north as the gold rush intensifies.
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Repeating the call to go north for the gold rush.
George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand
George, with gold in hand, confesses his loneliness to Sam.
Said Sam you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man
Sam is advised by George about the challenges of loneliness.
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
Expressing a willingness to trade all gold for love and companionship.
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand
Desire for a small band of gold for Jenny's hand in marriage.
'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Highlighting the importance of constant love from a woman.
Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find
Emphasizing the rarity of true love.
I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home
Planning to build a honeymoon home for Jenny.
Below that old white mountain
Reiteration of the location below the old white mountain.
Just a little south-east of Nome
Just southeast of Nome, the specified location for the home.
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
Repeating the description of gold-rich areas along winding rivers.
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Encouragement to head north for the ongoing gold rush.
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
Repeating the call to go north for the gold rush.
