Lyrics:

Come my love and we will walk hand in hand together we’ll talk
Why not go out and play way up Saginaw Way

No my dear I said before a patient man ‘ed suit me more
I’ll wait another year, till my mind is
clear

But what about this gold band, shinning for your pretty white hand
Lovin’ words I mean to say, way up Saginaw
Way

No I believe it would be sin to wed without my mother and kin’
And I will not have it said, I was hastin’
you when

Now there’s no cost to worry my dear, your kin’ will come as soon as they hear
If the church bells ring today, way up
Saginaw Way

So he took his love and they did walk, hand in hand together they talk
Under skies both dead and gray, way up
Saginaw Way
