Lyrics
Keeping the green light on our right
Through this cold and foggy night
Winter’s frosty winds they blow
Dead ahead the seaway…
It’s time to go
We’re downbound
Through the locks and lakes
Batten those hatches down
And we’re on our way
We’re downbound
To the ocean waves
A kiss goodbye and cast away
We’ll be back in sixteen days
Leaving with ore and back with grain
I can’t wait to see your face again
We’re downbound
Through the locks and lakes
Batten those hatches down
And we’re on our way
We’re downbound
Calling now ship to shore
Take the helm and stay the course
Guide me out and safely home
Back to your loving arms once more
We’re downbound
Through the locks and lakes
Batten those hatches down
And we’re on our way
We’re downbound
To the ocean waves
We’re downbound
We’re downbound
We’re downbound
We’re downbound
We’re downbound
We’re downbound
We’re downbound
