Saginaw, Michigan (Live)

歌詞

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 brought home 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 Not good enough to claim his daughter's hand Now I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold Like a crazy fool I'm digging in this frozen ground so cold With each day I pray I'll strike it rich and then Go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan Said, "Honey, I'm coming home, please wait for me And you can tell your dad I'm coming home a richer man I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history" Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan Gave me a great big party with champagne And he said, "Son, you're a wise, young, ambitious man Won't you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim?" Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold hard ground The greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found It serves him right and no one here is missing him Least of all, the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan
