I've only ever heard of it in that Simon and Garfunkel song...

http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/classic-country/saginaw-michigan---lefty-frizzell-14966.html

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 a 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 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.
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.

We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan.
He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan.


*****AND....the Grumpy's are close to Saginaw Michigan...and 5th Gen puts on this great party, and this year we are going to be there. Saginaw and the surrounding area is beautiful. Pine trees, nature, niceness! Please say you'll come. :hug:

And 'spensive. Now, if it was only a matter of heel-clicking, I'd be there, but the damned airlines seem to want MONEY.

BUT I'm gonna be in Milwaukee for Summerfest not too long after this Funday shindig, and we'll meet up there. I still owe you one immaculate conception. ;-)

That will be so cool!!! I almost forgot about the "immaculate conception" you owe me!!!! :hug:
