Saginaw Michigan — текст песни (Bill Anderson)

I was born in Saginaw Michigan I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay
My daddy was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman
Too many nights 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 he said I wadn`t good enough to claim his daughter`s hand
That`s why I`m up here in Alaska lookin` around for gold
Like a crazy fool I`m diggin` in the 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
[ ac.guitar ]
I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan I said honey I`m comin` home please wait for me
You can tell your dad I`m coming back a richer man
I`ve hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history
Her daddy met the bus in Saginaw Michigan
He gave me a great big party and we drank champagne
Then he said son you`re a wise young ambitious man
Don`tcha wanna sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim
And now he`s up there in Alaska diggin` in the cold cold ground
The greedy fool is a 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
We`re the happiest man and wife in Saginaw Michigan
And he`s ashamed to show his face in Saginaw Michigan
