When It's Springtime in Alaska

歌詞

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 for the gal who was singin' the tune We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon Where the caribou 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 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)
