You'll never get a tan down at old Jacques Lake. It's close to town...it's lovely...it's always raining every time we go there.

lyrics

Jacques Lake, Jacques Lake
You'll never get a tan down on old Jacques Lake
Down in the valley with the shadows and the rain
Puttin' down your trap line at 'ol Jacques Lake

Went down to the water
Oh Lord what did I see
Big old pool of white fish
Starin' back at me
Oh what a sight to see

Goin' down to Jacques Lake following a line
Down in the valley where the sun don't shine
First summit second summit pickin up the trail
Down past the lake with the beaver tail

Went down to the water
Oh Lord what did I see
Big old pool of white fish
Starin' back at me
Oh what a sight to see
