Go North Johnny Horton

[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"
