When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's 40 Below) Lyrics & Tabs by Johnny Horton
When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's 40 Below)
guitar chords lyrics
"i mushed frompoint 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.
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.)
