Saginaw Michigan Lefty Frizzell
[G]
(G)I was born(D7) in Saginaw(G) Michigan,I grew(C) up in a house(G) on Saginaw(D7) bay,
My dad was a (G)poor hard working Sagi[(G7)naw (C)fisherman,
Too many (G)times he came home (D7)with too little (G)pay
I love a girl in (D7)Saginaw (G)Michigan
(C)the daughter of a (G)wealthly wealthly (D7)man,
But he called (G)me that son of a Sag(G7)inaw (C)fisherman,
Not good (G)enough to (D7)claim his daughters (G)hand
Chorus;
Now I'm (C)up here in Alaska, (G)looking around for gold,
(D7)like a crazy fool I'm digging in this (G)frozen ground so cold,(G7)....
But with (C)each new day I pray I'll strike it (G)rich and then,
I'll go back (D7)home and claim my love in Saginaw, (G)Michigan
I wrote my love, in Saginaw, Michigan,
I said Honey I'm coming home please wait for me,
You can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man,
I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history
Her dad met me, in Saginaw, Michegan,
He gave me a great big party with champagne,
Then he said Son, you're a wise young ambitious man,
Will you sell you're father in law your Klondike claim
Chorus;
Now he's up there in Alaska, digging in the cold cold ground,
the greedy fool is lookin' 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
The happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Mich.
