Verse 1
(G major) I mushed from Port Barrol through
a (D major) blizzard of (G major) 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 (C major) Dog (G major) Saloon
Verse 2
(G major)
When I walked in the door,
the music (D major) was clear (G major)
Prettiest voice I had heard
in two years
The song she kept singing would
make a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska,
it's forty (C major) below
(G major)

Verse 3
It was red headed Louie that
was (D major) singing so sweet (G major)
I reached down and took the
snow packs off of my feet
I reached for the gal that
was singing the tune
We did the Eskimo hop all
around (C major) the saloon
(G major)
Verse 4
Where the caribou crawl and
the grizzly (D major) bear (G major) hug
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
The song she kept singing would
make a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska,
it's (C major) forty below
(G major)
Verse 5
Well, I was as innocent (D major) as I could be (G major)
I didn't know that Louie
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 (C major) six feet be (G major) low
