[00:00.00]Saginaw, Michigan - Lefty Frizzell
[00:08.81]I was born in Saginaw Michigan
[00:15.54]I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
[00:21.65]My dad was a poor hard
[00:24.50]Working Saginaw fisherman:
[00:27.98]Too many times he came home
[00:30.92]With too little pay
[00:34.80]I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan
[00:42.36]The daughter of a wealthy
[00:45.32]Wealthy man
[00:47.89]But he called me:
[00:50.28]"That son of a Saginaw fisherman"
[00:54.29]And not good enough
[00:57.02]To claim his daughter's hand
[01:01.38]Now I'm up here in Alaska
[01:05.29]Looking around for gold
[01:08.39]Like a crazy fool I'm a digging
[01:11.21]In this frozen ground so cold
[01:16.67]But with each new day
[01:18.31]I pray I'll strike it rich and then
[01:22.61]I'll go back home and claim
[01:24.88]My love in Saginaw Michigan
[01:29.04]I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan
[01:35.80]I said:"Honey I'm a coming home
[01:39.08]Please wait for me
[01:42.06]"And you can tell your dad
[01:44.65]I'm coming back a richer man
[01:48.59]"I've hit the biggest strike
[01:51.28]In Klondyke history"
[01:55.25]Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan
[02:02.78]He gave me a great
[02:04.47]Big party with champagne
[02:08.15]Then he said:"Son you're wise
[02:12.16]Young ambitious man
[02:15.19]"Will you sell your father-in-law
[02:17.58]Your Klondyke claim"
[02:21.68]Now he's up there in Alaska
[02:25.77]Digging in the cold cold ground
[02:29.20]The greedy fool is a looking
[02:31.82]For the gold I never found
[02:37.45]It serves him right
[02:39.12]And no-one here is missing him
[02:43.54]Least of all the newly-weds
[02:46.63]Of Saginaw Michigan
[02:50.14]We're the happiest man
[02:51.49]And wife in Saginaw Michigan
[02:56.78]He's ashamed to show
[02:58.41]His face in Saginaw,Michigan
