Saginaw Michigan Lyrics - David Houston

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 

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 diggin' in the frozen ground so cold 

But with each new day I pray I'll 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 a coming home please wait for me 

You can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man 

I've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history 

Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan 

He gave me a great big party with champagne 

Then he said son you're a wise ambitious man 

Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim 

Now he's up there in Alaska a diggin' in the cold cold ground 

Like a greedy fool is a lookin' for the gold I never found 

It serves him right no one here is missing him 

Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan 

Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan 

We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw Michigan
