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
