I marched from Point Barrow thru a blizzard of snow,
been out prospectin' for two years or so,
A E
so I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon.

As I walked in the door the music was clear,
the purtiest voice I had heard in two years.
A E
when it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below.

It was Redheaded Lil who was singin' so sweet,
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet,
A E
we did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon.

With a caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug,
we did our dance on a kodiak rug.

I was as innocent as I could be,
I didn't know Lil was big Ed's wife to be,
A E
when it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below.
