๐ 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 here to Alaska searching around for gold
Like a crazy fool, I was digging 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 (I wrote my love) in Saginaw, Michigan (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've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke 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 Klondyke claim?"
So now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold, cold ground
Why the greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found
It serves him right and no-one here is a missing him
Least of all, the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan (Saginaw, Michigan)
Least of all us newly weds of Saginaw, Michigan (Saginaw, Michigan)
(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 here to Alaska searching around for gold
Like a crazy fool, I was digging 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 (I wrote my love) in Saginaw, Michigan (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've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke 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 Klondyke claim?"
So now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold, cold ground
Why the greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found
It serves him right and no-one here is a missing him
Least of all, the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan (Saginaw, Michigan)
Least of all us newly weds of Saginaw, Michigan (Saginaw, Michigan)
(Saginaw, Michigan)
