Springtime In Alaska Lyrics

I mushed from Point Barrow thru a bizzard 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 Reddog Saloon.



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 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.



With a 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.



TAG: (When It's Springtime In Alaska, he'll be six feet below.)
