I was born in Saginaw Michigan I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay |
| [00:20.59] |
My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman |
| [00:26.83] |
Too many times he came home with too little pay |
| [00:33.46] |
I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan the daughter of a wealthy wealthy man |
| [00:46.72] |
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman |
| [00:53.06] |
And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand |
| [01:00.13] |
Now I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold |
| [01:07.11] |
Like a crazy fool I'm a digging in this frozen ground so cold |
| [01:15.28] |
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then |
| [01:21.10] |
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw Michigan |
| [01:27.81] |
I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan |
| [01:35.28] |
I said honey I'm a coming home please wait for me |
| [01:40.47] |
And you can tell your dad I'm coming home a richer man |
| [01:47.63] |
I've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history |
| [01:54.19] |
Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan he gave me a great big party with champagne |
| [02:06.58] |
Then he said son you're wise young ambitious man |
| [02:14.00] |
Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim |
| [02:21.28] |
Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold cold ground |
| [02:27.81] |
The greedy fool is a looking for the gold I never found |
| [02:36.19] |
It serves him right and no one here is missing him |
| [02:42.19] |
Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan |
| [02:49.15] |
We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw Michigan |
| [02:55.37] |
He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw Michigan |
| [02:58.66] |
