Johnny Horton - When its springtime in alaska its 40 below acoustic

^EI mushed from Port Barren through a ^Bblizzard of ^Esnow. ^BBeen out pros^Epecting for ^Btwo years or ^Eso. ^EPulled into Fairbanks, the ^Bcity was a-^Eboom. ^ESo, I took a little stroll to the ^ARed Dog ^Esaloon.

^EAs I walked in the door the ^Bmusic was ^Eclear. ^EThe prettiest voice I had heard in two years. ^EThe song she was singin' made a ^Bman's blood run ^Ecold. ^EWhen it's springtime in Alaska it's ^Aforty ^Ebelow. ^EWhen it's springtime in Alaska it's ^Aforty ^Ebelow.)

^EIt was red headed Lil who was ^Bsingin' so ^Esweet. ^EI reached ^Bdown and ^Etook the snow packs off my feet. ^BI ^Ereached for the gal who was ^Bsingin' the ^Etune. We did the ^BEskimo ^Ehop all a^Around the ^Esaloon.

^EWhere the caribou crawl and the ^Bgrizzly bear ^Ehug. ^EWe did our dance on a Kodiak rug. ^EThe song she kept singing made a ^Bman's blood run ^Ecold. ^EWhen it's springtime in Alaska it's ^Aforty ^Ebelow.

^EI was as innocent ^Bas I could ^Ebe, I didn't know Lil was big ^BEd's wife to ^Ebe. ^EHe took out his knife and he gave it a throw. ^EWhen it's springtime in Alaska I'll be ^Asix feet be^Elow.

(^EWhen it's springtime in Alaska he'll be ^Asix feet be^Elow.)
