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 nights he came home with 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 And said I wasn't good enough for his daughter's hand.
That's why I went up here to Alaska searchin' around for gold Like a crazy fool I was diggin' in the frozen ground so cold But with each new day I pray I'd strike it rich and then I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan.
I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan I said, 'Honey, I'm comin' home, please wait for me Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And you can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man I've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history.'
So her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan He gave me a great big party and we served champagne Then he said son, 'Now you're a wise young ambitious man Now won't you sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim?'
So now he's up there in Alaska diggin' in the cold, cold ground Why the greedy fool is lookin' for the gold I never found It serves him right and no one here is a missin' him Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw, Michigan.
Least of all us newly weds of Saginaw, Michigan. (Saginaw, Michigan...)
