I mushed from Point Barron 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
As I walked through that door the music was clear
The prettiest 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 red headed Loui who was singing so sweet
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal that was singing the tune

Where the cariboo crawl and the grizzly bear hug
We did our dance on a Kodiac rug
The song she kept singing made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below
banjo
I was as innocent as I could be I didn't
know Lil was Big Ed's wife to be
He took 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 I'll be six feet below)
