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 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 he said I wasn't good enough to claim his daughter's hand.
 That's why I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold
 Like a crazy fool I'm digging in this frozen ground so cold
 But with each new day I pray I'll 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 coming home please wait for me
 And you can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man
 I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history.
 Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan
 He gave me a great big party with champagne
 Then he said son you're a wise, young, ambitious man
 Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim.
 So now he's up there in Alaska diggin' in the cold, cold ground
 The greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found
 And it serves him right and no one here is missing him
 Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan.
 Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan...
