Of Michigan from Michigama by acousticmichigan

Of Michigan

These are the sounds of the Indian names of Michigan
These are the sounds of the Indian names of Michigan

Ottawa, Chippewa, Potawatomi
Keweenaw, Noquet, and Menominee

Hannahville, Kickapoo and Ojibwe
Fox and Sauk, Huron and Neutral, Miami

These are the sounds of the Indian names…
Of Michigan

These are the things that we love to do in Michigan
These are the things that we love to do in Michigan

To head for the places that we call “Up North,”
to walk in her forests and play on her shores.
Remember the Fitz and six-thousand more
vessels all lost in her awesome storms
Drive through the groves of Grand Traverse Bay
And wonder why we just don’t stay.

These are the things that we love to do…
In Michigan

These are the things that we love to boast of Michigan,
These are the things that we love to boast of Michigan

To hold up our hands, and point out our towns,
And smile at the outstater’s puzzled frown.
Walk Mighty Mac - five miles great
Quarter mile longer than the golden gate.
Visit 10,000 miles of streams.
We can’t fish them all except in our dreams

These are the things that we love to boast…
Of Michigan

These are the sound, these are the things,
These are the boasts - Of Michigan

Land of the Yoopers and land of the Trolls
Of islands and shipwrecks and untold lost souls.
Land of the dunes and the inland seas
There’s no other place that we want to be, than Michigan; than Michigan.

Hold up your hands and point our towns,
And show everyone all around,
Your of Michigan.
Your of Michigan.
Your of Michigan.
