(Verse 1)
The mist is thick on Sacandaga’s glass,
Row away through the A. D. K.
We two in our canoe, freedom at last,
We’re bound for Lake Pleasant's waters!

The morning sky is a glorious blue,
Row away through the A. D. K.
With a rhythmic dip of the birch canoe,
We’re bound for Lake Pleasant waters!

(Verse 2)
We’ll thread the outlet, narrow and deep,
Row away through the A. D. K.
Where the grass long and the beavers sleep,
We’re bound for Lake Pleasant waters!

The current shifts and the lilies sway,
Row away through the A. D. K.
We’ll return to camp by the end of day,
We’re bound for Lake Pleasant waters!


(verse 3)
The small village lights begin to show,
Row away through the A. D. K.
See Speculator Mountain, the sun is low,
As we leave Lake Pleasant's waters!

The deer does swim across the lake,
Row away through the A. D. K.
And the haunting sound the loons do make,
We return to Sacandaga waters!

(verse 4)
Campfires seen over yonder shore,
Row away through the A. D. K.
Moffitt's Beach, where we aim for,
On the Sacandaga waters.

And so we land, our canoes to rest,
Row away through the A. D. K.
And once again tomorrow our quest,
We’re bound for Lake Pleasant waters!

(bridge)
But now let's sleep in tents we lye,
Underneath the stary sky,
While the moon is shining high,
Above Lake Pleasant waters!

(Chorus)
So, row, my mates, with a steady stroke,
Past the white pine shade and the towering oak!
Breathing the air of the Adirondacks,
We’re bound for Lake Pleasant waters!
