I was born in Saginaw Michigan

And I grew up in a house

on Saginaw Bay

My daddy was a poor

hard working Saginaw fisherman

Too many times he came home

with too little pay

I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan

She was the daughter of

a wealthy wealthy man

But he called me That son of

a Saginaw fisherman

And not good enough to ever

claim his daughter's hand

That's why I'm up here in Alaska

looking around for gold

Like a crazy fool I'm a digging

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

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 that

I'm coming back a richer man

I've hit the biggest strike

in Klondyke history

Her dad met the bus

in Saginaw Michigan

And he gave me a great big party

with champagne

Then he said Son you're

wise young ambitious man

Why don't you sell your

father-in-law your Klondyke claim

Now he's up there in Alaska digging

in the cold cold ground

That greedy fool is a looking

for the gold I never found

But it serves him right and

nobody here is missing him

Least of all the newly-weds

of Saginaw Michigan
