Lyrics When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)

I mushed from Port Barren through a blizzard of snow

Been out prospectin' 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

It was red headed Lil' 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 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
