Saginaw Michigan - John Prine/Mac Wiseman[00:00:00]
I was born in Saginaw Michigan[00:00:06]
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay[00:00:12]
My dad was a poor[00:00:17]
Hard working Saginaw fisherman[00:00:19]
Too many times he came home[00:00:23]
With too little pay[00:00:25]
I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan[00:00:30]
Saginaw Michigan[00:00:35]
The daughter of a wealthy wealthy man[00:00:37]
But he called me[00:00:42]
That son of a Saginaw fisherman[00:00:44]
Not good enough[00:00:48]
To claim his daughter's hand[00:00:50]
Now I'm up here in Alaska[00:00:55]
Looking around for gold[00:00:58]
Like a crazy fool[00:01:01]
I'm a digging in this frozen ground[00:01:03]
So cold[00:01:06]
But each day I pray[00:01:07]
I'll strike it rich and then[00:01:09]
I'll go back home[00:01:13]
And claim my love in Saginaw Michigan[00:01:14]
Saginaw Michigan[00:01:17]
I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan[00:01:20]
Saginaw Michigan[00:01:25]
I said[00:01:27]
Honey I'm a coming home[00:01:27]
Please wait for me[00:01:29]
And you can tell your dad[00:01:32]
I'm coming back a richer man[00:01:34]
I've hit the biggest strike[00:01:38]
In Klondyke history[00:01:40]
Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan[00:01:46]
Saginaw Michigan[00:01:51]
He gave me a great big party with champagne[00:01:53]
Then he said[00:01:58]
Son you're wise young ambitious man[00:01:59]
Will you sell your father-in-law[00:02:04]
Your Klondyke claim[00:02:07]
Now he's up there in Alaska[00:02:10]
Digging in the cold cold ground[00:02:14]
The greedy fool[00:02:17]
Is a looking for the gold I never found[00:02:18]
It serves him right[00:02:23]
And no one here is missing him[00:02:24]
Least of all[00:02:29]
The newly weds of Saginaw Michigan[00:02:30]
There's the happiest man and wife[00:02:34]
In Saginaw Michigan[00:02:37]
He's afraid to show his face[00:02:40]
In Saginaw Michigan[00:02:43]
