Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]mushed from Point Barrow
through [A]blizzard of [D]snow.
Been out prospectin' for
two years or so.
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a-boom.
So So I took a little stroll to
the [G]Red Dog sea-loon.

[Verse 2]
[G]As [D]As I walked in the door,
[A]the music was cle[D]ar.
The purtiest voice I had heard
in two years.
The song she was singin' made
a man's blood run cold.
When its springtime in Alaska
it's [G]forty [D]below.
(When it's springtime in Alaska
it's [G]forty [D]below.)

[Verse 3]
It was [D]Redhead Lil who
[A]was singin' so [D]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
[G]around the sea-loon.

[Verse 4]
[G]With [D]With a caribou crawl
and a [A]grizzly bear [D]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 [G]forty below.

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]I was as innocent a[A]s I could b[D]e.
I didn't now Lil was Big Ed's wife-to-be.
He He He took out his knife
and he gave it a throw.
When it's springtime in Alaska I'll
be [G]six feet be[D]low.
(When it's springtime in Alaska
he'll be [G]six feet below.)
[D]
