Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
I mushed from Port Barren
A 
D 
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
G 
D 
the Red Dog Saloon
A 
As I walked in the door
D 
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
G 
D 
it's forty below
(When it's springtime in Alaska
G 
D 
it's forty below)

Verse 2
D 
It was red headed Lil who
A 
D 
was singin' so sweet
I reached down and took the
snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal who
was singin' the tune
We did the Escimo hop all
G 
D 
around the saloon
A 
Where the cariboo crawl and the grizzly bear
D 
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
G 
Alaska it's forty below
D 
G 
D 
[ banjo ]
A 
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
When it's springtime in Alaska I'll
G 
D 
be six feet below
(When it's springtime in Alaska
G 
he'll be six feet below)
