Ballad Of The Keweenaw Lyrics

In the land of pines and lakes so grand

Where the copper veins run through the land

Lies the Keweenaw a rugged shore

A tale of history forevermore

Miners toiled in the earth's embrace

Seeking copper's gleam in that ancient place

Through sweat and tears they carved their way

A legacy etched in the light of day

Oh the Ballad of the Keweenaw

Where the waves crash loud and the wild winds draw

Through the forests tall and the hills so steep

A story of a land so wild and deep

Snow takes the land in winter's hold

Yet fires burn bright in the hearts so bold

Neighbors thrive through ice and snow

In the Keweenaw's embrace they find their home

So let the winds take this tale afar

Of the Keweenaw's beauty a shining star

In the heart of Michigan it proudly stands

A testament to nature's wondrous hands

Oh the Ballad of the Keweenaw

Where the waves crash loud and the wild winds draw

Through the forests tall and the hills so steep

A story of a land so wild and deep

Under Northern Lights they stand

Testaments to the spirit of this land

They've grown to love through trials endured

The Keweenaw Peninsula…their home procured

Oh the Ballad of the Keweenaw

Where the waves crash loud and the wild winds draw

Through the forests tall and the hills so steep

A story of a land a story of a land

A story of a land so wild and deep

Wild and deep
