Body of Water
The specific name of a body of water. Particular lakes, seas, oceans. Named reservoirs, ponds. Designated bays, lagoons. (Not rivers or waterfalls or canals. Large, standing bodies of water.)
(The word "water" itself can be played here. The word "river" has an entry too.)
Here is an educational page (map and music) for the song Lake Titicaca from Animaniacs, for anyone here whose children are too young to have caught that excellent learning opportunity. It doesn't last very long.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Gordon Lightfoot
(Somewhere in the song he sings a roster of the English names for the Great Lakes but that's not the part I'm remembering right now)
From the great Atlantic Ocean
To the wide Pacific shore
"The Wabash Cannonball"
I've got a mule and her name is Sal,
Fifteen years on the Erie Canal
(Um, is it okay if it's a manmade body of water??)
" (Not rivers or waterfalls or canals. Large, standing bodies of water.)"
That was in the description already. So it's okay if it's a manmade lake, but not a canal.
Rats. I got nothin'. Well, I actually found an unused one over at "River" so that's something, anyway.
Hm. Think-think-think...
Not sure if this will count...
From the Redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
"This Land is Your Land"
On the good ship Lollipop
It's a sweet trip to a candy stop
Where the bonbons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay
-Shirley Temple sang it in "Bright Eyes"
Lake Titicaca, oh Lake Titicaca
It's between Bolivia and Peru...
Animaniacs
Blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
-John Anderson, "Seminole Wind"
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
never knew how much that muddy water meant to me...
---Alan Jackson
And I've watched boats sail
In and out of Cinnamon Bay.

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Hey, hey, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, my heart's away
Across the wide Missouri
(traditional folk song)
(And if you don't know the recording by Jo Stafford, you should)
Salt for your wounds.
When the cod's in season.
Salt fare, North Sea.
Salt fare, North Sea.
Salt Fare, North Sea by Chumbawamba
i vote we go to the gulf of mexico
you and me by the sea
palm trees call me
oh that's the place i want to be
down where the southern breezes blow
on the gulf of mexico
"gulf of mexico" (alabama)
