|
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 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 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 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.) |
