Saginaw Michigan — текст песни (Lefty Frizzel)

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 not good enough to claim his daughter`s hand
Now I`m up here in Alaska looking around for gold
Like a crazy fool I`m a digging in this 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

I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan
I said honey I`m a coming home please wait for me
And you can tell your dad I`m coming home a richer man
I`ve hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history
Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan he gave me a great big party with champagne
Then he said son you`re wise young ambitious man
Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim
Now he`s up there in Alaska digging in the cold cold ground
The greedy fool is a looking 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
He`s ashamed to show his face in Saginaw Michigan
