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

I mushed from Point Barrow through 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 40 below
 (When it's springtime in Alaska, it's 40 below)
 It was redhead lil' who was singin' so sweet
 I reached down and took the snow packs off my feet
 I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune
 We did the eskeemo hop all around the sea-loon
 With a caribou crawl and a 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 40 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
