paroles de chanson When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below) - Johnny Horton

I mushed from Point Barrow through blizzard of snow
Been out prospectin′ for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a-boom
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
The song she was singin' made a man′s blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's 40 below
(When it′s springtime in Alaska, it′s 40 below)

It was redhead lil' who was singin′ so 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 around the sea-loon

With a caribou crawl and a 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 40 below

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 be six feet below
(When it's springtime in Alaska, he′ll be six feet below)
