北上阿拉斯加 North To Alaska

johnny horton简介：小简介强尼·霍顿（Johnny Horton)，这是一个很特别的乡村歌手，曾经有人这样评论：“他也许更擅长表演山地摇滚乐，但是他的牛仔帽把他的才华给遮没了。他是个可有可无的歌手。”但是无论如何，光凭着“传奇歌曲”（Saga Songs)这一项,就足以保证他不会被人所遗忘。

Way up north, (North To Alaska.)
Way up north, (North To Alaska.)
North to Alaska,
They're goin' North, the rush is on.
North to Alaska,
They're goin' North, the rush is on.
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 bonanza¹ gold.
Below that old white mountain just a little south-east of Nome.
Sam crossed the majestic² mountains to the valleys far below.
He talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow.
With the northern lights a-running wild in the land of the midnight sun,
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty³ man in the year of nineteen-one.
Where the river is winding,Big nuggets they're finding.
North to Alaska,
They're goin' North, the rush is on.
Way up north, (North To Alaska.)
Way up north, (North To Alaska.)
North to Alaska,
They're goin' North, the rush is on.
North to Alaska,
They're goin' 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 gold to place on sweet little Ginnie's hand.
"'Cos 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 honeymoon⁴ home.
"Below that old white mountain just a little south-east of Nome."
Where the river is winding,Big nuggets they're finding.
North to Alaska,
They're goin' North, the rush is on.
North to Alaska,
They're goin' North, the rush is on.
Way up north, (North To Alaska.)……
