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.
