This song was written by Elaine Mayer and performed by Dale & Lea Jane Burie
From the hidden springs of water In our Upper Michigan, Wisconsin waters rush to join in To that sparkling band of water That's been there forever, She's our great Menominee River, amen! [Chorus] We have vowed to defend her As her enemies go after All the treasures that lie deep within. We will fight to protect her From those who don't respect her, Our great Menominee River, amen! She has carried life within her, Run the paper mills beside her, She's moved big timber down from the hills. All the tribes and the trappers Have their history within her, Our great Menominee River, amen. [Chorus] Those foreign hands will kill her If we don't band together, She doesn't stand a chance on her own. There is strength in numbers, United we can save her, Our great Menominee River, amen! She's our great Menominee River, amen! Just watch her water flowing, In the morning sun she's glowing, Our great Menominee River, Amen!
