Saginaw Michigan - John Prine (约翰·普林)/Mac Wiseman
I was born in Saginaw Michigan
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
My dad was a poor
Hard working Saginaw fisherman
Too many times he came home
With too little pay
I loved a girl in Saginaw Michigan
Saginaw Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy wealthy man
But he called me
That son of a Saginaw fisherman
Not good enough
To claim his daughter's hand
Now I'm up here in Alaska
Looking around for gold
Like a crazy fool
I'm a digging in this frozen ground
So cold
But each day I pray
I'll strike it rich and then
I'll go back home
And claim my love in Saginaw Michigan
Saginaw Michigan
I wrote my love in Saginaw Michigan
Saginaw Michigan
I said
Honey I'm a coming home
Please wait for me
And you can tell your dad
I'm coming back a richer man
I've hit the biggest strike
In Klondyke history
Her dad met me in Saginaw Michigan
Saginaw Michigan
He gave me a great big party with champagne
Then he said
Son you're wise young ambitious man
Will you sell your father-in-law
Your Klondyke claim
Now he's up there in Alaska
Digging in the cold cold ground
The greedy fool
Is a looking 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
There's the happiest man and wife
In Saginaw Michigan
He's afraid to show his face
In Saginaw Michigan
