Dwight Yoakam - North To Alaska Lyrics
(mike phillips)North to alaskaGo north, the rush is onBig sam left seattle in the year of ninety twoWith george pratt, his partner and brother billy, tooThey crossed the yukon river and found the bonanza goldBeneath that old white mountain, just a little southeast of nomeSam crossed the majestic mountainsTo the valleys far belowHe talked to his team of huskiesAs he mushed on through the snowWith the northern lights runnin wildIn the land of the midnight sunYes sam mccord was a mighty manIn the year of nineteen-oneWhere the river is windinBig nuggets theyre findinNorth to alaskaGo north, the rush is onWhere the river is windinBig nuggets theyre findinNorth to alaskaGo north, the rush is onNorth to alaskaGo north, the rush is onGeorge turned to sam with his gold in his handSaid, sam, youre lookin at a lonely, lonely manId trade all the gold thats buried in this landFor one small band of gold to place on sweet jennys handcause a man needs a woman to love him all the timeYou know sam, a true love is so hard to findId build for my jenny a honeymoon homeBeneath that old white mountainJust a little southeast of nome.Where the river is windinBig nuggets theyre findinNorth to alaskaGo north, the rush is onNorth to alaskaGo north, the rush in onNorth to alaskaGo north, the rush is onWay up northNorth to alaskaGo north, the rush is onNorth to alaskaGo north, the rush is onWay up northWay up northNorth to alaskaGo north, the rush is onNorth to alaskaGo north, the rush is on
