The FGreat Lakes are a diamond
On the Dmhand of North America
A Bbbrightly shining jewel on the Cfriendship bordering
FFreshwater highway Dmcoming down from Canada
BbAll around the coastline, Ccan't you hear them sing'

The Dmwives and mothers lie awake
And Bbpray our lady of the lake Will Csend them home aFgain
