When It's Springtime In Alaska Songtext

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 Eskimo Hop all around the sea-loon With a 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)
