Marie Blue water Huron Rolls down to Lake Erie-o, falls into Ontario And runs out to sea Hardy are the seamen On the ships that load the iron ore Sailing out of Thunder Bay, bound for Buffalo Hardy are the fisherman Like their fathers were before They say they'll bury me at sea Letras de cancionesWhen it's my time to go Singing...Sweet Mother Michigan, Father Superior Coming down from Mackinaw and Sault Ste. Marie Blue water Huron Rolls down to Lake Erie-o, falls into Ontario And runs out to sea Down below the quarterdeck The old men mend the fishing nets While up upon the windy bridge The young men curse into the wind Up and down the Windsor straits The wives, the mothers lie awake And pray our lady of the lake Will bring them home again Singing...Sweet Mother Michigan, Father Superior Coming down from Mackinaw and Sault Ste. Marie Blue water Huron Rolls down to Lake Erie-o, falls into Ontario And runs out to sea Falls into Ontario And runs out to sea From Letras Mania
