We were standing Standing by peaceful waters Standing by peaceful waters Whoa, wah, oh wha, oh Whoa, wah, oh wha, ohMany years ago along the Illinois-Wisconsin border There was this Indian tribe They found two babies in the woods White babiesOne of them was named Elizabeth She was the fairer of the two While the smaller and more fragile one was named Marie Having never seen white girls beforeAnd living on the two lakes known as the Twin Lakes They named the larger and more beautiful lake, Lake Elizabeth And thus the smaller lake that was hidden from the highway Became known forever as Lake MarieWe were standing Standing by peaceful waters Standing by peaceful waters Whoa, wah, oh wha, oh Whoa, wah, oh wha, ohMany years later I found myself talking to this girl Who was standing there with her back turned to Lake Marie The wind was blowing especially through her hair There was four Italian sausages cooking on the outdoor grill And man, they was sizzlin'Many years later we found ourselves in Canada Trying to save our marriage and perhaps catch a few fish Whatever seemed easier, that night she fell asleep in my arms Humming the tune to, "Louie Louie" Aah baby, we gotta go nowWe were standing Standing by peaceful waters Standing by peaceful waters Whoa, wah, oh wha, oh Whoa, wah, oh wha, ohThe dogs were barking as the cars were parking The loan sharks were sharking, the narcs were narcing Practically everyone was there In the parking lot by the forest preserveThe police had found two bodies in the woods Nay, naked bodies Their faces had been horribly disfigured by some sharp object Saw it on the news, on the TV news, in a black and white videoYou know what blood looks like in a black and white video?
