Lyrics
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 said I wasn't good enough for his daughter's hand
That's why I went up 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
And you can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man
I've hit the biggest strike in klondike 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 klondike 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)
