about

Growing up it seemed as if EVERYTHING happened north of Nashwauk. In reality, it's a lot of open countryside and not much else. I took the liberty with this polka to make it the magical playground it was purported to be.

lyrics

North of Nashwauk

Twelve miles north of Nashwauk, on the shores of ol' Buck Lake,
I spied the fairest damsel, buck naked as a babe
Then I spied her partner, he was, buck naked too,
sheepishly I crept away, there was not much I could do

(chorus)
North of Nashwauk, north of Nashwauk
You can't buy a better time no matter where you go
North of Nashwauk, north of Nashwauk
Fill 'er up young dude let's hit the road

Somewhere north of Nashwauk, there lies a fishing hole,
I keep it a secret, I've never told a soul
Once I hooked a monster there, bigger than my boat,
it broke my rod, then dove down deep, and that was all she wrote

(chorus)

Way up north of Nashwauk, where 65 hits one,
I stopped off at The Junction, to have a little fun
The band was inside kickin' ass, Bigfoot at the bar,
I'd tell you what I saw out back, but that'd be going too far

(chorus)

Let's go north of Nashwauk, come with me today
I'll show you things you won't believe, you'll probably want to stay

(chorus)
