I really like Lefty Frizell before he drank himself to death. You have to love his "Saginaw, Michigan". The album also has the "The Long Black Veil".

"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 (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
And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand"

4/5
