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 The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman And 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 digging in this frozen ground so cold But with each new 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 coming home please wait for me And you can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan He gave me a great big party with champagne Then he said son you wise young ambitious man Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold, cold ground The greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found It serves him right and no one here is missing him Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan |

Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agree That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me. The judge said son what is your alibi If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die I spoke not a word though it meant my life For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife. She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me. The scaffold's high and eternity near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones. She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me. Nobody knows but me. Nobody knows but me... |

I Want To Be With You Always
I lose my blues, honey, when I'm with you No one else can do what you do, you're in my heart to stay When I'm gone, and I'm all alone I'll be singing this song for you, I want to be with you always I'd be happy, dearest, if you could only be here And always be nearer, forever and a day Then we'd travel far, we'd be some big, shining star Just you and my guitar, and stay there, sweetheart, for always I just want to love you baby You mean so much to me, you don't no how I feel I'm crazy in my little world I hope you feel the same, you really want my name Well, you'll be the one who's to blame, if it works out wrong that day Cause my love is true, my love is only for you I'll never be blue, if I can be with you always |

Forever and always my love will be true
I'd wait for a lifetime if you ask me to You make me so happy, then leave me so blue But I'd wait forever and always for you Each night I pray that God above will let my dreams come true To hear my prayer and make you care, my life I'd offer you For riches won't buy you a heart true as gold Forever and always to have and to hold Each night I pray that God above will let my dreams come true To hear my prayer and make you care my life I'd offer you For riches won't buy you a heart true as gold Forever and always to have and to hold |
