SAGINAW MICHIGAN by Lefty Frizell

Oh I was born in Saginaw Michigan

I grew up in a house in Saginaw Bay

My dad was a poor hard workin' Saginaw fisherman

To many times he came home with to little pay

I loved a girl ,in Saginaw Michigan

The daughter of a wealthy wealthy man

But he called me the son of a Saginaw fisherman

I wasn't good enough to take his daughter's hand

That's why I went up to Alaska,digging the cold cold ground

Like a fool I'm digging in this frozen ground so cold

But I know someday I'll strike it rich and go back home

Go back home to 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 rich man

I made the biggest strike in Klondike history

Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan

He gave me a great big party with champagne

He said son you're a young wise ambitious man

Why don't you sell your father-in-law your Klondike mine

Now he's up there in Alaska

Digging the cold cold ground

The greedy man he's looking for the gold I never found

No one here is caring much or missing him

Most of all the newly weds in Saginaw Michigan
