SPRINGTIME IN ALASKA Recorded by Johnny Horton Words and music by Tillman Franks & Johnny Horton CAPO: 2nd FRET/KEY: E/PLAY: D [D] [A7] [D] I mushed from Point Barrow thru a blizzard of snow
Been out prospectin' for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boom [G] [D] So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon. [A7] [D] 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 [G] [D] When It's Springtime In Alaska, it's forty below.
(When It's Springtime In Alaska, it's forty below.) [A7] [D] It was Red-headed Lil who was singin' so sweet
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune [G] [D] We did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon. [A7] [D] With a Caribou Crawl and the Grizzly Bear Hug
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
The song she kept singin' made a man's blood run cold [G] [D] When It's Springtime In Alaska, it's forty below. [A7] [D] 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 [G] [D] When It's Springtime In Alaska, I'll be six feet below.
TAG: (When It's Springtime In Alaska, he'll be six feet below.)
