Saginaw Michigan Johnny Cash
I was [A]born [E]in Saginaw, [A]Michigan
I grew[D] up in a [A]house on [E]Saginaw bay
My dad[A] was a poor, hard working Saginaw [D]fisherman
too many [A]times he came[E] home with too little [A]pay
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.
Chorus:
Now I'm [D]up here in Alaska looking around for g[A]old
like a c[E]razy fool I'm diggin in these frozen g[A]rounds a cold
But with[D] each new day I pray I'll strike it ri[A]ch and then
I'll go [E]back home and claim my love in Saginaw[A], Michigan
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."
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?"
Chorus:
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.
We're the h[E]appiest man and wife in Saginaw, [A]Michigan
He's ashame[E]d to show his face in Saginaw, Mi[A]chigan
