When It's Springtime In Alaska Lyrics - Roy Drusky

I mushed from Port Barren 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 

As I walked in the door, the music was clear 

The prettiest voice I had heard in two years 

The song she was singing made a man's blood run cold 

When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below 

It was red headed Luie who was singin' so sweet 

I reached down and took the snow packs off my feet 

I reached for the girl who was singin' 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 made a man's blood run cold 

When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
