Dwight Yoakam - North to Alaska Lyrics

(mike phillips) North to alaska Go north, the rush is on Big sam left seattle in the year of ninety two With george pratt, his partner and brother billy, too They crossed the yukon river and found the bonanza gold Beneath that old white mountain, just a little southeast of nome Sam crossed the majestic mountains To the valleys far below He talked to his team of huskies As he mushed on through the snow With the northern lights runnin’ wild In the land of the midnight sun Yes sam mccord was a mighty man In the year of nineteen-one Where the river is windin’ Big nuggets they’re findin’ North to alaska Go north, the rush is on Where the river is windin’ Big nuggets they’re findin’ North to alaska Go north, the rush is on North to alaska Go north, the rush is on George turned to sam with his gold in his hand Said, "sam, you’re lookin’ at a lonely, lonely man I’d trade all the gold that’s buried in this land For one small band of gold to place on sweet jenny’s hand ’cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time You know sam, a true love is so hard to find I’d build for my jenny a honeymoon home Beneath that old white mountain Just a little southeast of nome." Where the river is windin’ Big nuggets they’re findin’ North to alaska Go north, the rush is on North to alaska Go north, the rush in on North to alaska Go north, the rush is on Way up north North to alaska Go north, the rush is on North to alaska Go north, the rush is on Way up north Way up north North to alaska Go north, the rush is on North to alaska Go north, the rush is on Dwight Yoakam Lyrics North to Alaska Lyrics
