Originally by lefty frizzel
I was Cborn Gin Saginaw, CMichigan
I grewF up in a Chouse on GSaginaw bay
My dadC was a poor, hard working Saginaw Ffisherman
too many Ctimes he cameG home with too little Cpay
I loved the girl in Saginaw, Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
But he called me "That son of a Saginaw fisherman"
And I could end up to claim his daughter's hand.
Chorus:
Now I'm Fup here in Alaska looking around for gCold
like a cGrazy fool I'm diggin in these frozen gCrounds a cold
But withF each new day I pray I'll strike it riCch and then
I'll go Gback home and claim my love in SaginawC, 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 comin' back a richer man
I've hit the biggest strike in Klondike history."
Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan
He threw me a great big party with champagne
And he said,"Son, you wise, young, ambitious man,
Will you sell your father all your Klondike claim?"
Chorus:
Now he's up there in Alaska diggin' in the cold, cold ground
The greedy fool is lookin' for the gold I never found
It serves him right and no one here is missin' him
At least not the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan.
We're the hGappiest man and wife in Saginaw, CMichigan
He's ashameGd to show his face in Saginaw, MiCchigan
