When It Is Springtime In Alaska (It Is Forty Below) - Johnny Horton

作词：T. Franks

作曲：T. Franks

I mushed from Point Barrow through a 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 Sea-loon

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 redheaded 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 the 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 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

When it's Springtime in Alaska he'll be six feet below
