Saginaw, Michigan
Lyrics 
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

And not good enough to ever claim his daughter's hand
But it serves him right and nobody here is missing him
She was the daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
And I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
Like a crazy fool I'm a digging in the frozen ground, so cold
Her dad met the bus in Saginaw, Michigan
Least of all the newly-weds of Saginaw, Michigan
Too many times he came home with too little pay
That greedy fool is a looking for the gold I never found
My daddy was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman
And you can tell your dad that I'm coming back a richer man
I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan
And he gave me a great big party with champagne
I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan
That's why I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold
Why don't you sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim?"
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then
I was born in Saginaw, Michigan
Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold, cold ground
Then he said, "Son, you're wise, young ambitious man
Songwriters: Bill Anderson, Donald Wayne
I said, "Honey, I'm a coming home, please wait for me
But he called me, "That son of a Saginaw fisherman"
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan
I've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history"
