Saginaw, Michigan - Lefty Frizzell

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 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 a digging

in this 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.

"And 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 wise,

young ambitious man.

"Will you sell your father-in-law

your Klondyke claim?"

Now he's up there in Alaska

digging in the cold, cold ground.

The greedy fool is a looking

for the gold I never found.

It serves him right

and no-one here is missing him.

Least of all the newly-weds

of Saginaw, Michigan.

We're the happiest man

and wife in Saginaw, Michigan.

He's ashamed to show

his face in Saginaw,Michigan
