saginaw michigan - bobby bare lyrics

Loading...

(bill anderson – don wayne)

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 nights 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 said i wasn’t good enough for his daughter’s hand.

that’s why i went up here to alaska searchin’ around for gold
like a crazy fool i was diggin’ in the frozen ground so cold
but with each new day i pray i’d 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 comin’ 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 klondyk- history.”

so her dad met me in saginaw, michigan
he gave me a great big party and we served champagne
then he said son, “now you’re a wise young ambitious man
now won’t you sell your father-in-law your klondyk- claim?”

so now he’s up there in alaska diggin’ in the cold, cold ground
why the greedy fool is lookin’ for the gold i never found
it serves him right and no one here is a missin’ him
least of all the newly weds of saginaw, michigan.

least of all us newly weds of saginaw, michigan.
(saginaw, michigan…)
