When It's Springtime In Alaska Lyrics - Johnny Horton

I mushed from Port Barren through a blizzard of snow 

Been out prospecting for two years or so 

Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boon 

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 

(When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below)

It was red headed Luie 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 

Where the caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug we did our dance on a Kodiac rug 

The song she kept singing 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 Luie 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)
