Lyrics for Sleeping Bear, Sault Ste. Marie

Oh, sleeping bear Ran to the top and got scared Of what I could see Oh, Lamb of God Tell us your perfect design And give us the rod Oh, Sturgeon Bay Covered completely in sand And covered in sun Oh, Saint Marie, give up The rocking boats drowned The captain is done
