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.
