I was born in Saginaw, MichiganAnd I grew up in a house on Saginaw BayMy daddy was a poor hard working Saginaw fishermanToo many times he came home with too little payI loved a girl in Saginaw, MichiganShe was the daughter of a wealthy, wealthy manBut he called me, "That son of a Saginaw fisherman"And not good enough to ever claim his daughter's handThat's why I'm up here in Alaska looking around for goldLike a crazy fool I'm a digging in the frozen ground, so coldBut with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and thenI'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, MichiganI wrote my love in Saginaw, MichiganI said, "Honey, I'm a coming home, please wait for meAnd you can tell your dad that I'm coming back a richer manI've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history"Her dad met the bus in Saginaw, MichiganAnd he gave me a great big party with champagneThen he said, "Son, you're wise, young ambitious manWhy don't you sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim?"Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold, cold groundThat greedy fool is a looking for the gold I never foundBut it serves him right and nobody here is missing himLeast of all the newly-weds of Saginaw, Michigan From Letras Mania
