[Intro]
A D A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
[Verse]
A E A
I mushed from Port Barrow through a blizzard of snow
A
Been out prospecting for two years or so
E A
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a boon
[Chorus]
A D A
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon
D A
Yes he took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon
[Verse]
A E A
When I walked in the door, the music was clear
A
Prettiest voice I had heard in two years
E A
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold
[Chorus]
A D A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
D A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
[Verse]
A E A
It was red headed Luie that was singing so sweet
A
I reached down and took the snow packs off of my feet
E A
I reached for the gal that was singing the tune
[Chorus]
A D A
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon
D A
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon
[Verse]
A E A
Where the caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug
A
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
A E A
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold
[Chorus]
A D A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
D A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
[Verse]
A E A
Well, I was as innocent as I could be
A
I didn't know that Luie was big Ed's wife to be
E A
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw
[Chorus]
A D A
When it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below
D A
When it's springtime in Alaska, he's six feet below
