When It's Springtime In Alaska (It's Forty Below) (mono)

I mushed from

Port Barrol 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

When I walked in the door, the music was clear

Prettiest voice

I had heard in two years

The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold

When it's springtime in

Alaska, it's forty below

It was red headed

Luie that was singing so sweet

I reached down and took the snow packs off of my feet

I reached for the gal that was singing 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

Kodiak rug

The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold

When it's springtime in

Alaska, it's forty below

Well, I was as innocent as

I could be

I didn't know that

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
