1st:

Sail sailors sail out from Thunder Bay

Down through the Great Lakes, destination Port Cartier

With a hold of Prairie gold, a Captain and her crew

The Captain is a woman and she's a lady too

Chorus:

Lady of the Lakes, you've got what it takes

To keep those stripes upon your shoulder

Keep your hand upon the wheel, that guides you through your destiny

The life you choose to lead, you had what it takes to make

A Lady of the Lakes

2nd:

We all know no flowers grow on sheets of iron and steel. What the mind can't understand the heart can truely feel

It's hard to make it in a world that's only made for men. But you're more a man than most of them that sail in your command

Chorus

3rd:

One Dark and foggy winter's night on Lake Onatrio. A coward's hand struck from behind, you couldn't count the blows

And as you fell you cursed them all, "Goddamn you all to hell". You took the pain, you rose again, sweet Lady of the Lakes

Chorus
