(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)
|
I mushed from Port Barren through a blizzard of snow
|
Been out prospecting for two years or so
|
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boon
|
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon
|
|
As I walked in the door the music was clear
|
The prettiest voice I had heard in two years
|
The song she was singin' made a man's blood run cold
|
When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below
|
(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)
|
|
It was red headed Luie who was singin' so sweet
|
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
|
I reached toward the gal who was singin' the tune
|
We did the Escimo hop all around the saloon
|
[ banjo ]
|
Where the cariboo crawl and the grizzly bear hug
|
We did our dance on a Kodiac rug
|
The song she kept singing made a man's blood run cold
|
When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below
|
(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)
|
|
I was as innocent as I could be
|
I didn't know Luie was big Ed's wife to be
|
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw
|
When it's springtime in Alaska I'll be six feet below
|
(When it's springtime in Alaska he'll be six feet below
|
When it's springtime in Alaska he'll be six feet below)
