作曲:

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
