When It's Spring Time In Alaska

Intro. I marched from Point Barrow thru 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 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. (Backup)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 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.
