Saginaw, Michigan
By Lefty Frizzell


      G    D           G                C       G                D
I was born, in Saginaw Michigan, I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
             G         G7              C
My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman
         G             D                    G
Too many times he came home with too little pay
         G    D           G             C             G                 D          
I loved a girl, in Saginaw Michigan, the daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
              G       G7               C
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
    G              D                   G
Not good enough to claim his daughters hand

Chorus 1:
        C                  G 
Now I'm up here in Alaska, looking around for gold
       D                              G                     G7
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
                               D                G
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan
  
I wrote my love, in Saginaw, Michigan
I said "Honey I'm coming home please wait for me
You can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man
I hit the biggest strike in Klondike 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 young ambitious man
Will you sell you're father-in-law your Klondike claim"?

Chorus 2:                                           
Now he's up there in Alaska, digging in the cold cold ground
The greedy fool is lookin' 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
