Johnny Cash - Saginaw, Michigan lyrics

[Johnny Cash - Saginaw, Michigan lyrics]

I was born in Saginaw Michigan and I grew
Up in a house on Saginaw bay
My daddy was a poor
Hard working Saginaw fisherman
Too many times he came home
With too little pay
I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan she
Was the daughter of a very, very wealthy man
But he called me that son
Of a Saginaw fisherman
And not good enough to ever
Claim his daughter's hand

That's why I'm up here in
Alaska lookin' around for gold
Like a crazy fool I'm diggin' in
The frozen ground so cold
But with each day I pray I'll
Strike it rich and then
I'll go back home and claim
My love in Saginaw Michigan


I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan
I said honey I'm a coming
Home please wait for me
And you can tell your dad that
I'm coming back a richer man
I hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history

Her daddy met the bus in Saginaw Michigan
And he gave me a great
Big party with champagne
Then he said son you're a wise young
Ambitious man
Why don't you sell your father-in
Law your Klondyke claim

Now he's up there in Alaska
Diggin' in the cold, cold ground
That greedy fool is a lookin' for
The gold I never found
But it serves him right and
Nobody here is missing him
Least of all the newly
Weds of Saginaw Michigan
