Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash - When It’s Springtime in Alaska (It’s Forty Below ) lyrics
[Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash - When It’s Springtime in Alaska It’s Forty Below lyrics]
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
When I walked in the door
The music was clear
Prettiest voice I had heard in two years
The song she kept singing would make
A man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska
It's forty below
It was red headed Luie that
Was singing so sweet
I reached down and took the snow
Packs off of my feet
I reached for the gal that
Was singing the tune
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon
Where the caribou crawl and
The grizzly bear hug
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
The song she kept singing would make
A man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska
It's forty below
Well, 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
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
When I walked in the door
The music was clear
Prettiest voice I had heard in two years
The song she kept singing would make
A man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska
It's forty below
It was red headed Luie that
Was singing so sweet
I reached down and took the snow
Packs off of my feet
I reached for the gal that
Was singing the tune
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon
Where the caribou crawl and
The grizzly bear hug
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
The song she kept singing would make
A man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska
It's forty below
Well, 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
