Saginaw, Michigan Lefty Frizzell

Intro: G7-C

C G7 C
1)I was born in Saginaw, Michigan
F C G7
I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay
C
My dad was a poor, hard working Saginaw fisherman
F G7 C
too many times he came home with too little pay

2) I loved the girl in Saginaw, Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
But he called me That son of a Saginaw fisherman
And I could end up to claim his daughter`s hand.
F C
Bridge1) Now I`m up here in Alaska looking around for gold
G7 C F
like a crazy fool I`m diggin in these frozen grounds a cold
C
But with each new day I pray I`ll strike it rich and then
G7 C
I`ll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan

3) 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 comin` back a richer man
I`ve hit the biggest strike in Klondike history.

4) Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan
He threw me a great big party with champagne
And he said,Son, you wise, young, ambitious man,
Will you sell your father all your Klondike claim?

Bridge2) Now he`s up there in Alaska diggin` 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 missin` him
At least not the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan.

G7 C
We`re the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan
He`s ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan
