|
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 |
