[Intro 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I was [G]born [D]in Saginaw Mic[G]higan
I grew [C]up in a [G]house on Saginaw [D]bay
My dad was a [G]poor hard working
Saginaw [C]fisherman
Too many [G]times he came
home [D]with too little pay
[G]

[Verse 2]
I loved a [D]girl in Saginaw [G]Michigan
The [C]daughter of a [G]wealthy wealthy [D]man
But he called [G]me that son
of a Saginaw [C]fisherman
Not good [G]enough to [D]claim
his daughter's hand
[G]

[Verse 3]
That's why I'm [C]up here in Alaska
[G]looking around for gold
Like a [D]crazy fool I'm digging in
the [G]frozen ground so cold
But with [C]each new day I pray
I'll strike it [G]rich and then
I'll go back [D]home and claim
my love in Saginaw [G]Michigan

[Verse 4]
I wrote my [G]love [D]in Saginaw Mic[G]higan
I said [C]honey I'm comin'
[G]home please wait for [D]me
You can tell your [G]dad I'm
coming back a [C]richer man
I've hit the [G]biggest strike
in [D]Klondyke history
[G]

[Verse 5]
Her dad met [D]me in Saginaw [G]Michigan
He [C]gave me a great big [G]party
with champag[D]ne
Then he said [G]son you're a wise
young ambi[C]tious man
Will you [G]sell your father- in-
[D]law your Klondyke [G]claim

[Verse 6]
So now he's [C]up there in Alaska
[G]diggin' in the cold cold ground
Well the [D]greedy fool is lookin'
for the [G]gold I never found
It [C]serves him right and no one
here is [G]missin' him
Least of [D]all the newly weds
in Saginaw [G]Michigan
Least of [D]all the newly
weds in Saginaw [G]Michigan
