A                                   E           A 
I mushed from Port Barrol through a blizzard of snow 
A 
Been out prospecting for two years or so 
                                E     A 
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a boon 

Chorus 
A                                D          A 
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon 
                                   D          A 
Yes he took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon 

Verse 
A                              E         A 
When I walked in the door, the music was clear 
A 
Prettiest voice I had heard in two years 
                                             E         A 
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold

A                               E          A 
It was red headed Luie that was singing so sweet 
A 
I reached down and took the snow packs off of my feet 
                                E          A 
I reached for the gal that was singing the tune

A                           D          A 
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon

A                                E           A 
Where the caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug

We did our dance on a Kodiak rug 
A                                            E         A 
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold

He took out his knife and he gave it a throw
