Il testo della Saginaw, michigan - lefty frizzell

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.
