Saginaw Michigan
recorded by Lefty Frizzell
written by Bill Anderson and Don Wayne
G D7 G
I was born in Saginaw Michigan
C G D7
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
G C
My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman
G D7 G
Too many times he came home with too little pay
D7 G
I love a girl in Saginaw Michigan
C G D7
The daughter of a wealthy wealthy man
G C
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
G D7 G
Not good enough to claim his daughters hand
C G
Now I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold
D7 G
Like a crazy fool I'm digging in this frozen ground so cold
C G
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then
D7 G
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw Michigan
D7 G
I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan
C G D7
I said Honey I'm coming home please wait for me
G C
You can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man
G D7 G
I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history
D7 G
Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan
C G D7
He gave me a great big party with champagne
G C
Then he said Son you're a wise young ambitious man
G D7 G
Will you sell you're father in law your Klondike claim
C G
Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold cold ground
D7 G
The greedy fool is lookin' for the gold I never found
C G
It serves him right and no one here is missing him
D7 G
Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan
D7 G
The happiest man and wife in Saginaw Michigan
