I mushed from
Port Barrol 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
When I walked in the door, the music was clear
Prettiest voice
I had heard in two years
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in
Alaska, it's forty below
It was red headed
Luie that was singing so sweet
I reached down and took the snow packs off of my feet
I reached for the gal that was singing 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
Kodiak rug
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in
Alaska, it's forty below
Well, I was as innocent as
I could be
I didn't know that
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
