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
