Rose Maddox - North To Alaska lyrics

North to Alaska I go north the rush is on Big Sam left Seattle in the year of 1902 With George as his partner and brother Billy too They crossed the Yukon River and found the Bonanza gold Below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome They crossed the majestic mountain to valleys far below He talked to his team of huskys as he mushed on through the snow Well the northern lights are 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 I go north the rush is on (Way up north) north to Alaska (way up north) north to Alaska North to Alaska I go north the rush is on [ guitar ] George turned to Sam with this gold in his hand Said Sam you're a looking at a lonely lonely man I'd trade all the gold that's burried in this land For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jeannie'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 Jeannie a honeymoon home Below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome Where the river is winding... (Way up north) north to Alaska...
