When It's Spring Time In Alaska

Intro. E - A - E

    E                              
I marched from Point Barrow thru a 
 B7          E
blizzard of snow,

been out prospectin' for two years 
or so,

pulled into Fairbanks, the city was 
a boom,
                                  A
so I took a little stroll to the 
          E
Red Dog Saloon.

      E                      B7   
As I walked in the door the music 
       E

the purtiest voice I had heard in 
two years.

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

          E                   B7  
It was Redheaded Lil who was 
         E
singin' so sweet,

I reached down and took the 
snowpacks off my feet,

I reached for the gal who was 
singin' the tune,
                            A      
we did the Eskimo Hop all around 
      E
the saloon.

        E                      B7 
With a caribou crawl and the 
         E
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
  A      E
 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,
when it's springtime in Alaska, I'll
     A          E
 be six feet below.
