This is a story song, written for a movie starring John Wayne. These two characters, Big Sam and George Pratt, go hunting for gold south of Nome in 1892. Then George has found the love of his life and says, "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." Unfortunately, the song ends there; there is no third verse that tells whether those crazy kids ever got together, or George froze to death trying to get to the courthouse.
