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
