Lyrics:

Paddlin' down the Michigan
Catchin' all the fish I can
Breathin' holy air in my canoe

Groovin' down Superior
Takin' taboos easier
Talkin' with the lord in my canoe
Send me no pillows I can dream on

I've seen all the nightmares I can bear to see
Gotta find the river to your kingdom in my canoe

Many moons on Erie lake
Not a bottle of beer to break
Heaven knows I try best I can do

Maybe lake Ontario
Gonna take me where I hope
Got to find the lord in my canoe

Paddlin' down the Michigan
Catchin' all the fish I can
Breathin' holy air in my canoe
Send me no willows I can weep on
I've done all the crying I can bear to do
Lookin' for the tributary to your kingdom
In my canoe.
