Saginaw Michigan

Saginaw Michigan - Bobby Bare

Written by：Bill Anderson

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

I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan

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 to Alaska searchin' around for gold

Like a crazy fool I was diggin'

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

Saginaw Michigan

I wrote my love

I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan

Saginaw Michigan

I said honey I'm comin' 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 Klondike history

So her dad met me

Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan

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 Klondike claim

So now he's up there in Alaska diggin'

In the cold cold ground

Why the greedy fool is lookin' for the gold I never found

It serves him right and no one here is a missin' 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
