Lyrics for Song: When It's Springtime in Alaska
Lyrics for Album: Country Music All Around the World (Mercury) [1965]



(Tillman Franks)



I mushed from Port Barren 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.



As I walked in the door the music was clear

The prettiest 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.



--- Instrumental ---



It was red headed Lil who was singin' so sweet

I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet

I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune

We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon.



With the cariboo crawl and the grizzly bear hug

We did our dance on a Kodiac rug

The song she kept singin' made a man's blood run cold

When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below.



--- Instrumental ---



I was as inocent 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 it's forty below...
