I'm going down to Lake Michigan I'm gonna throw myself into the sea I'm going down to Lake Michigan And that's the last you're gonna see of me I ain't got nobody Ain't nobody got me I ain't got nobody Guess that's the way the Lord wanted it to be And if you want to tell me some story Some story before I go About how things gonna get better Well, I've heard that story before Don't matter when you find me Don't put my body in a box Just leave me in the water Down among the rocks 'Cause I'm going down to Lake Michigan I'm gonna throw myself into the sea I'm going down to Lake Michigan And that's the last you're gonna see of me
