When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)
(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)I mushed from Port Barren through a blizzard of snowBeen out prospecting for two years or soPulled into Fairbanks the city was a boonSo I took a little stroll to the Red Dog SaloonAs I walked in the door the music was clearThe prettiest voice I had heard in two yearsThe song she was singin' made a man's blood run coldWhen it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)It was red headed Luie who was singin' so sweetI reached down and took the snowpacks off my feetI reached toward the gal who was singin' the tuneWe did the Eskimo hop all around the saloonWhere the caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug we did our dance on a Kodiak rugThe song she kept singing made a man's blood run coldWhen it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)I was as innocent as I could be I didn't know Luie was big Ed's wife to beHe took out his knife and he gave it a throwWhen it's springtime in Alaska I'll be six feet below(When it's springtime in Alaska he'll be six feet belowWhen it's springtime in Alaska he'll be six feet below)
