Saginaw Michigan — текст песни (Bobby Bare)

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 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
I wrote my love in 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 Klondyke history
So her dad met me in 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 Klondyke 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
Least of all us newly weds of Saginaw Michigan (Saginaw Michigan)
