Saginaw, Michigan

<p>I was born in Saginaw Michigan and I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay<br/>My daddy was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman<br/>Too many times he came home with too little pay<br/>I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan she was the daughter of a very, very wealthy man<br/>But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman<br/>And not good enough to ever claim his daughter&#x27;s hand<br/><br/>That&#x27;s why I&#x27;m up here in Alaska lookin&#x27; around for gold<br/>Like a crazy fool I&#x27;m diggin&#x27; in the frozen ground so cold<br/>But with each day I pray I&#x27;ll strike it rich and then<br/>I&#x27;ll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw Michigan<br/><br/>I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan<br/>I said honey I&#x27;m a coming home please wait for me<br/>And you can tell your dad that I&#x27;m coming back a richer man<br/>I hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history<br/>Her daddy met the bus in Saginaw Michigan<br/>And he gave me a great big party with champagne<br/>Then he said son you&#x27;re a wise young, ambitious man<br/>Why don&#x27;t you sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim<br/><br/>Now he&#x27;s up there in Alaska diggin&#x27; in the cold, cold ground<br/>That greedy fool is a lookin&#x27; for the gold I never found<br/>But it serves him right and nobody here is missing him<br/>Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan
