[00:07.27] I was born in Saginaw Michigan I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay
[00:20.59] My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman
[00:26.83] Too many times he came home with too little pay
[00:33.46] I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan the daughter of a wealthy wealthy man
[00:46.72] But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
[00:53.06] And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand
[01:00.13] Now I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold
[01:07.11] Like a crazy fool I'm a digging in this frozen ground so cold
[01:15.28] But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then
[01:21.10] I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw Michigan
[01:27.81] I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan
[01:35.28] I said honey I'm a coming home please wait for me
[01:40.47] And you can tell your dad I'm coming home a richer man
[01:47.63] I've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history
[01:54.19] Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan he gave me a great big party with champagne
[02:06.58] Then he said son you're wise young ambitious man
[02:14.00] Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim
[02:21.28] Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold cold ground
[02:27.81] The greedy fool is a looking for the gold I never found
[02:36.19] It serves him right and no one here is missing him
[02:42.19] Least of all the newly weds of Saginaw Michigan
[02:49.15] We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw Michigan
[02:55.37] He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw Michigan
[02:58.66]
