 Reminded me of this old song that = "caught me as a kid"/ never to return to the dark side ...eeeerrr I mean the lower 48/outside      here she is >>> 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 singin' made 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 Lil who was singin' so sweet
 I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
 I reached for the gal 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
 [ banjo ]
 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)
