Original lyrics
ENPaddlin' 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.
