G
I mushed from Port Barrol through
D
G
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 the
C
G
Red Dog Saloon
Verse 2
G
When I walked in the door,
D
G
the music was clear
Prettiest voice I had heard
in two years
The song she kept singing would

Verse 3
It was red headed Louie that
D
G
was singing so sweet
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
C
around the saloon
G
Verse 4
Where the caribou crawl and
D
G
the grizzly bear 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,
C
it's forty below
G
Verse 5
D
G
Well, I was as innocent as I could be
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,
C
G
I'll be six feet below
