Saginaw, Michigan Lefty Frizzell
Saginaw Michigan: Lefty Frizzell
Intro:
[G] [D7] [G] [C]
[G]I was born, in [D7]Saginaw Michigan, I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay,
My dad was a po[G]or hard working Saginaw fis[C]herman,
Too many ti[G]mes he came home w[D7]ith too little p[G]ay.
[G] [D7] [G] [C] [G]
[D]I love a girl, in Saginaw Michigan, the daughter of a wealthly wealthly
man,
But he called [G]me that son of a Saginaw f[C]isherman,
Not good [G]enough to c[D7]laim his daughters h[G]and.
Chorus
Now I'm [C]up here in Alaska, lo[G]oking around for gold,
L[D7]ike a crazy fool I'm digging in this f[G]rozen ground so cold,
But with e[C]ach new day I pray I'll strike it [G]rich and then,
I'll go back h[D7]ome and claim my love in Saginaw, M[G]ichigan.
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.
