From: RShaw15804@aol.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Great Lakes Song - Performed by Pat Dailey Written by Pat Dailey & Shel Silverstein
The FGreat Lakes are a diamond on the Amhand of North America FBrightly shining jewel on the Gfriendship bordering FFreshwater highway Amcoming down from Canada FAll along the shoreline, Gyou can hear them Fsing
chorus:
FSweet mother Michigan, Amfather Superior FComing down from Mackinac and GSault St. Marie FBlue water Huron, Flow Amdown to Lake Erie-O FFall to Ontario and Grun on out to Fsea
FHearty are the seamen on the Amships that load the iron ore FSailing out of Thunder Bay and Gbound for Buffalo FHearty are the fishermen just Amlike their fathers were before FSay they'll bury me at sea cGome my time to Fgo
(chorus)
FOh the tales the sailors spin of Ammermaids singing in the wind the Fsinking of the Bessemer, the Gdrowning of the crew FMemories of waters crossed of Amwomen won and fortunes lost FAre etched upon their faces and their Gfaded old tatFoos
AmDown below the quarter decks the Fold men mend the fishing nets FUp above the windy bridge the Gyoung men curse into the wind AmAll along the winds of straits(?) the wFives and mothers lie awake FPray on lady of the lake to Gsend them home again
(chorus) (chorus)
