Home of my heart, I sing of thee!
Michigan, My Michigan
Thy lake-bound shores I long to see
Michigan, my Michigan
From Saginaws tall whispering pines
To Lake Superiors farthest mines
Fair in the light of memory shines
Michigan, my Michigan

Thou gavst thy sons without a sigh
Michigan, my Michigan
And sent thy bravest forth to die
Michigan, my Michigan
Beneath a hostile southern sky
They bore thy banner proud and high
Ready to fight but never fly
Michigan, my Michigan

From Yorktown on to Richmonds wall
Michigan, my Michigan
They bravely fight, as bravely fall
Michigan, my Michigan
To Williamsburgh we point with pride—
Our Fifth and Second, side by side
There stemmed and stayed the battles tide
Michigan, my Michigan

When worn with watching traitor foes
Michigan, my Michigan
The welcome night brought sweet repose
Michigan, my Michigan
The soldier, weary from the fight
Sleeps sound, nor fears the rebels might
For Michigans on guard tonight!
Michigan, my Michigan

Afar on Shilohs fatal plain
Michigan, my Michigan
Again behold thy heroes slain
Michigan, my Michigan
Their strong arms crumble in the dust
And their bright swords have gathered rust
Their memory is our sacred trust
Michigan, my Michigan

And often in the coming years
Michigan, my Michigan
Some widowed mother ll dry her tears
Michigan, my Michigan
And turning with a thrill of pride
Say to the children at her side
At Antietam your father died
For Michigan, our Michigan

With General Grants victorious name
Michigan, my Michigan
Thy sons still onward march to fame
Michigan, my Michigan
And foremost in the fight we see
Where eer the bravest dare to be
The sabres of thy cavalry
Michigan, my Michigan

Dark rolled the Rappahannocks flood
Michigan, my Michigan
The tide was crimsoned with thy blood
Michigan, my Michigan
Although for us the clay was lost
Still it shall be our broadest boast
At Fredericksburg our Seventh crossed!
Michigan, my Michigan

And when the happy time shall come
Michigan, my Michigan
That brings thy war-worn heroes home
Michigan, my Michigan
What welcome from their own proud shore
What honors at their feet well pour
What tears for those wholl come no more
Michigan, my Michigan

A grateful country claims them now,
Michigan, my Michigan,
And deathless laurel binds each brow,
Michigan, my Michigan;
And history the tale will tell
Of how they fought and how they fell
For that dear land they loved so well
Michigan, my Michigan
