When it's Springtime in Alaska
by Johnny Horton
G D7 G
I mushed from Point Barrow through a bizzard of snow
Been out prospectin' for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boom
D7 G C G
So I took a little stroll to the Reddog Saloon
D7 G
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
D7 G C G
When It's Springtime In Alaska it's forty below
D7 G
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
D7 G C G
We did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon
D7 G
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
D7 G C G
When It's Springtime In Alaska it's forty below
D7 G
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
D7 G C G
When It's Springtime In Alaska I'll be six feet below
