When it's Springtime in Alaska
Recorded by Johnny Horton
Written by Tillman Franks
Key Bb 34-140 U9-2
G D7 G
I mushed from Point Barrow through a blizzard of snow
Been out prospecting 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 singing made a man's blood run cold
D7 G C G
When It's Springtime In Alas-ka it's forty below
D7 G
It was Red-headed Lil who was singing so sweet
I reached down and took the snow packs off my feet
I reached for the gal who was singing 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 singing made a man's blood run cold
D7 G C G
When It's Springtime In Alas-ka 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 Alas-ka I'll be six feet below
