Lyrics When It's Springtime In Alaska (It's Forty Below) [Mono] - Johnny Cash
When
it's
springtime
in
Alaska
it's
forty
below
I
mushed
from
Port
Barrol
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
(Yes
he
took
a
little
stroll
to
the
Red
Dog
Saloon)
When
I
walked
through
the
door
the
music
was
clear
The
prettiest
voice
I
had
heard
in
two
years
The
song
she
kept
singin'
would
make
a
man's
blood
run
cold
When
it's
springtime
in
Alaska
it's
forty
below
(When
it's
springtime
in
Alaska
it's
forty
below)
It
was
red
headed
Luie
that
was
singin'
so
sweet
I
reached
down
and
took
the
snowpacks
off
of
my
feet
I
reached
for
the
gal
who
was
singing
the
tune
We
did
the
Escimo
hop
all
around
the
saloon
(We
did
the
Escimo
hop
all
around
the
saloon)
Where
the
cariboo
crawl
and
the
grizzly
bear
hug
We
did
our
dance
on
a
Kodiac
rug
The
song
she
kept
singing
would
make
a
man's
blood
run
cold
When
it's
springtime
in
Alaska
it's
forty
below
(When
it's
springtime
in
Alaska
it's
forty
below)
I
was
as
innocent
as
I
could
be
I
didn't
know
that
Luie
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
be
six
feet
below
(When
it's
springtime
in
Alaska
he's
six
feet
below)
