go north - johnny horton lyrics

[verse 1]
big sam had left seattle in the year of ’92
with george pratt, his partner and brother billy too
and just a few years later they found the bonanza gold
below that old white mountain
just a little southeast of nome

[verse 2]
he crossed the majestic mountains to the valleys far below
sam talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow
with the northern lights a*runnin’ wild in the land of the midnight sun
yes sam mccord was a mighty man in the year of 1901

[chorus]
where the river is windin’ big nuggets they’re findin’
go north to alaska, go north the rush is on

[verse 3]
now, george turns to sam with his gold in his hand
said “sam you’re lookin’ at a lonely, lonely man
i’d trade all his gold that’s buried in this land
for one small band of gold to place on sweet little jenny’s hand
’cause 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 jenny a honeymoon home
below that old white mountain
just a little southeast of nome”
[chorus]
where the river is windin’ big nuggets they’re findin’
go north to alaska, go north the rush is on

[verse 4]
it took mighty man like sam mccord to tame a town like nome
the yukon freedom fighting men had the gold all their own
it stand up to a grizzly bear and put him in his place
was the tough known alaska that canarian bird sang base

[chorus]
where the river is windin’ big nuggets they’re findin’
go north to alaska, go north the rush is on
go north to alaska, go north the rush is on
go north to alaska, go north the rush is on
