Saginaw Michigan

歌詞

I was born in Saginaw, Michigan I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay My daddy 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 he said I wasn't good enough to claim his daughter's hand. That's why I'm up here in Alaska lookin' around for gold Like a crazy fool I'm diggin' in the 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 comin' home please wait for me You can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man I've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history. Her daddy met the bus in Saginaw, Michigan He gave me a great big party and we drank champagne Then he said son you're a wise, young, ambitious man Don'tcha wanna sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim. And now he's up there in Alaska diggin' in the cold, cold ground The greedy fool is a lookin' for the gold I never found It serves him right and no one here is missing him Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw, Michigan. We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan And he's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan...
