Cuyahoga Pioneers

We came a long way from Connecticut
acrost some forests and some streams
out to Lake Erie where we sailed along the shore of it
bound for the land of our dreams

We reached the place where the river flows into the lake
built us a cabin on the shore
we took some surveys and we plotted where the streets would go
and did full many a thankless chore

Aaa the mosquitos and the bushes with the briars on 'em
aaa the swamp mud and the heat
aaa the heartaches and the troubles and the toils and tears

You mark my words a city will be builded here
Moses Cleaveland he did say
folks will come from every corner of this world of ours
here to live and work and pray

Aaa the mosquitos and the bushes with the briars on 'em
aaa the swamp mud and the heat
aaa the heartaches and the troubles and the toils and tears
