Artist/Band: Johnny Cash
Lyrics for Song: When It's Springtime In Alaska (It's Forty Below)
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Classics [2008]



I mushed from Port Barrol 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 the Red Dog Saloon



When I walked in the door, the music was clear

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 below



It was red headed Luie that 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 around the saloon



Where the caribou crawl and 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, it's forty below



Well, I was as innocent as I could be

I didn't know that Luie 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
