Johnny Horton

Song : WHEN IT'S SPRINGTIME IN ALASKA

Intro. E – A - E

E B7 E

I marched from Point Barrow thru a blizzard of snow,

been out prospectin' for two years or so,

pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a boom,

A E

so I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon.

E B7 E

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,

A E

when it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below.

E B7 E

It was Redheaded 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,

A E

we did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon.

E B7 E

With a caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug,

we did our dance on a kodiak rug.

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

A E

when it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below.

E B7 E

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,

A E

when it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below.
