SPRINGTIME IN ALASKA
Recorded by Johnny Horton
Words and music by Tillman Franks & Johnny Horton

CAPO: 2nd FRET/KEY: E/PLAY: D
I [D] mushed from Point Barrow thru a [A7] bizzard of [D] 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 [G] Reddog [D] 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 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. TAG: (When It's Springtime In Alaska, he'll be six feet below.)
