From: RShaw15804@aol.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Great Lakes Song - Performed by Pat Dailey Written by Pat Dailey & Shel Silverstein
The GGreat Lakes are a diamond on the Emhand of North America CBrightly shining jewel on the Dfriendship bordering GFreshwater highway Emcoming down from Canada CAll along the shoreline, Dyou can hear them Gsing
chorus:
GSweet mother Michigan, Emfather Superior CComing down from Mackinac and DSault St. Marie GBlue water Huron, Flow Emdown to Lake Erie-O CFall to Ontario and Drun on out to Gsea
GHearty are the seamen on the Emships that load the iron ore CSailing out of Thunder Bay and Dbound for Buffalo GHearty are the fishermen just Emlike their fathers were before CSay they'll bury me at sea cDome my time to Ggo
(chorus)
GOh the tales the sailors spin of Emmermaids singing in the wind the Csinking of the Bessemer, the Ddrowning of the crew GMemories of waters crossed of Emwomen won and fortunes lost CAre etched upon their faces and their Dfaded old tatGoos
EmDown below the quarter decks the Cold men mend the fishing nets GUp above the windy bridge the Dyoung men curse into the wind EmAll along the winds of straits(') the wCives and mothers lie awake GPray on lady of the lake to Dsend them home again
(chorus) (chorus)
