I Mushed From Point Barrow 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 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

(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

(When It's Springtime In Alaska, He'll Be Six Feet Below)
