Joe, Hope this is what you were looking for.
The Rivers of Wisconsin
I've crossed the broad Flambeau, I've forded the Fox I swum the Red Cedar, I followed the Black Sugar is muddy, the St. Croix is clear Down by the Eau Claire I courted my dear.
Chorus Li la li lee la lee give me your hand (3x) There's many a river that waters our land.
The sweet Chippewa it runs glossy and gliding The crooked Rock River runs weaving and winding The old Wisconsin courses the plain I never will walk by the Eau Claire again.
She hugged me she kissed me she called me her dandy The Wolf is rocky the Plover is sandy She hugged me she kissed me she called me her own Down by the Eau Claire she left me a lone.
The girls of the Pestigo they're fair and they're pretty The Big Rib and Yellow have many a beauty The Kickapoo flows swiftly passed girls by the score So down by the Eau Claire I'll wander no more.
All I did was put in Wisconsin rivers and change a word here or there. Let people know I had something to do with it and its all yours.
