Big Sam left Seattle in the year of 92'
With George Pratt, 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

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 loghts a-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 ~ (They go north, the rush is on )~

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said, Sam, you're a-lookin' at a lonely, lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of golden lace
On sweet little Ginnie'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 Ginnie a honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain
Just a little southeast of Nome

Where the river is winding
Big nuggets they're finding
