North To Alaska

Song: North To Alaska
Artist: Johnny Horton

Way up north north to Alaska way up north
North to Alaska a-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
Below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome

Sam crossed the majestic mountains to 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
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 a-go north the rush is on
Way up north north to Alaska way up north
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 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
 Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska a-go north the rush is on
Way up north north to Alaska way up north

林貝卡 回複 悄悄話 有一年冬天去紐約途中,飛機停在了阿拉斯加片刻。從機窗望出去,那裏是白雪皚皚。機場的工人們帶著厚厚的帽子,口中吐著騰騰的熱氣。從此,印象中的阿拉斯加永遠都是生氣勃勃。真想念寒冷的北方和那熱情誠懇地人們。。。謝謝林貝卡。

寫得真好,謝謝米德分享。我剛剛在《維基百科》查詢了阿拉斯加州的相關介紹。阿拉斯加州(State of Alaska)是位於美國西北太平洋沿岸的一個州,其也是美國最大的州、世界最大的飛地地區。阿拉斯加州東接加拿大的育空、英屬哥倫比亞,南鄰阿拉斯加灣、太平洋,西瀕白令海、白令海峽、楚科奇海,北臨北冰洋。一般認為阿拉斯加人來自亞洲,從白令海峽過來,發展為不同部落的印第安人。(來源:維基百科)--林貝卡 評論於:2011-10-23 14:58:34
