Saginaw Michigan |
I was born in Saginaw, Michigan |
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay |
My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman |
Too many times he brought home too little pay |
I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan |
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man |
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman |
Not good enough to claim his daughter’s hand |
Now I’m up here in Alaska looking around for gold |
Like a crazy fool I’m digging in this frozen ground so cold |
With each day I pray I’ll strike it rich and then |
Go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan |
I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan |
Said, «Honey, I’m coming home, please wait for me And you can tell your dad I’m coming home a richer man |
I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history» |
Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan |
Gave me a great big party with champagne |
And he said, «Son, you’re a wise, young, ambitious man |
Won’t you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim?» |
Now he’s up there in Alaska digging in the cold hard ground |
The greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found |
It serves him right and no one here is missing him |
Least of all, the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan |
We’re the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan |
He’s ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan |
