Song : WHEN IT'S SPRINGTIME IN ALASKA
Intro. E – A - E
E B7 E
I marched from Point Barrow thru a blizzard of snow,
been out prospectin' for two years or so,
pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a boom,
A E
so I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon.
E B7 E
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,
A E
when it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below.

E B7 E
It was Redheaded 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,
A E
we did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon.
E B7 E
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,
A E
when it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below.
E B7 E
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,
A E
when it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below.
