Lyrics:

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 Back 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.
