And my daughter with that
Now he's the one who tried
When I took that Klondike
gold claim off of his hand
I headed north from Saginaw, Michigan
that stupid kid was looking for
he laid down all his tools
Now I'm up here in Alaska
and the word is spread around
I found the richest vein of gold
they say that I'm a richer man
And it's all because of that son
we went through the money that we had
My husband says he'd like
Now he's up there in Alaska
diggin' till he can't see
He found the coal he wanted
he's making me a richer man.
I talk to her, I listen to that son
That curly -headed, left -handed son
