The Great Lakes are a Diamond on the Hand of North America…
Brightly shining jewel on the friendship border ring…
Freshwater highway comin’ down from Canada
All along the shoreline, you can hear them
sing:
Sweet Mother Michigan…
Father Superior…
Comin’ down through
Mackinaw and Sault Ste. Marie…
Blue Water Huron…
Flows down to Erie…
Falls to…
…Ontario…
…and runs on out to sea.
