I mushed from Point Barrow through a blizzard of snow
|
Been out prospectin' for two years or so
|
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a-boom
|
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Sea-loon
|
|
As I walked in the door, the music was clear
|
The purtiest 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 redheaded Lil who was singin' so sweet
|
I reached down and took the snow packs off my feet
|
I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune
|
We did the Eskeemo Hop all around the sea-loon
|
|
With the Caribou Crawl and a Grizzly Bear Hug
|
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
|
The song she kept singin' made a man's blood run cold
|
When it's Springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
|
|
I was as innocent as I could be
|
I didn't know Lil 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)
