When It's Springtime In Alaska (It's Forty Below)

In the style of

Johnny Horton

Lyrics

i mushed from
point barren 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 saloon

as i walked in the door
the music was clear
the prettiest 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

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
