Lyrics:

When It's Springtime In Alaska (It's Forty Below)
johnny Horton
written By Tillman B. Franks And Johnny Horton

nor Released As A Single


i Mushed From Point Barrow Through A Blizzard Of Snow
been Out Prospectin' For Two Years Or So
pulled Into Fairbanks, The City Was A-Boom
so I Took A Little Stroll To The Red Dog Sea-Loon

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
when It's Springtime In Alaska, It's Forty Below
(When It's Springtime In Alaska, It's Forty Below)

it Was Redheaded Lil Who Was Singin' So Sweet
i Reached Down And Took The Snow Packs Off My Feet
i Reached For The Gal Who Was Singin' The Tune
we Did The Eskeemo Hop All Around The Sea-Loon

with A Caribou Crawl And A Grizzly Bear Hug
we Did Our Dance On A Kodiak Rug
the Song She Kept Singin' Made A Man's Blood Run Cold
when It's Springtime In Alaska, It's Forty Below

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 Be Six Feet Below
(When It's Springtime In Alaska, He'll Be Six Feet Below)
