Verse 1
D

it's forty below
I mushed from Point Barrow through
E

a blizzard of snow
Been out prospecting for
two years or so
E

Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boom
E

So I took a little stroll to
the Red Dog Saloon
(Yes he took a little stroll to
the Red Dog Saloon)
Verse 2

the music was clear
The prettiest voice I had
heard in two years
The song she kept singin' would make
a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska
D
A
it's forty below)
Verse 3
It was red headed Lil that
G

was singin' so sweet
I reached down and took the
snowpacks off of my feet
I reached for the gal who
was singing the tune

We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon

Verse 4

the grizzly bear hug
We did our dance on a kodiak rug
The song she kept singing would make

Verse 5
A
E

I was as innocent as I could be
I didn't know that 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
D
A
Alaska he's six feet below)
