Lyrics for Lake Winnebago

If I'm dying, make me Hawaiian But if time and money are low Take me on up (take me on up) Take me on up (take me on up) To the shores of Lake Winnebago Death is a hazy horizon in Wisconsin I can lay my dreams to sleep on Lake Winnebago And not wonder where do they go (where do they go) Lake Where-do-they-go The Sutras say the highest state Is not a river or an ocean, but a lake Take me to the highest state Take me to the highest state I sure am Fond du Lac I wonder when I'll be back Last time I was there was to bury Mom and Dad And a cul-de-sac He She The Sutras say Sadatay The Sutras say Sadatay Lake flies may swarm When it gets warm We'll outlive them all Forgive them all On the shores of Butte des Morts Low mountain of death I light myself a little fuego And watch the little waves as they flow Lake Winnebago I light myself a little fuego And watch the little waves as they flow Lake Winnebago
