sonnerie téléphone portable pour Saginaw, michigan

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
