Johnny Horton - When It's Spring Time In Alaska (It's Forty Below) lyrics

Artist: Johnny Horton

album: The Best Of Johny Horton


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
(When it's springtime in Alaska, he'll be six feet below)
