The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald(live 版) - Dordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]

The legend lives on from the chippewa on down[00:00:18]

Of the big lake they called gitche gumee[00:00:21]

The lake it is said never gives up her dead[00:00:27]

When the skies of november turn gloomy[00:00:30]

With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more[00:00:36]

Than the edmund fitzgerald weighed empty [00:00:40]

That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed[00:00:46]

When the gales of november came early [00:00:49]

The ship was the pride of the american side[00:00:55]

Coming back from some mill in wisconsin[00:00:58]

As the big freighters go it was bigger than most[00:01:03]

With a crew and good captain well seasoned[00:01:06]

Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms[00:01:10]

When they left fully loaded for cleveland[00:01:14]

And later that night when the ships bell rang[00:01:18]

Could it be the north wind theyd been feelin [00:01:21]

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound[00:01:35]

And a wave broke over the railing[00:01:38]

And every man knew as the captain did too [00:01:45]

Twas the witch of november come stealin [00:01:48]

The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait[00:01:54]

When the gales of november came slashin [00:01:57]

When afternoon came it was freezin rain[00:02:02]

In the face of a hurricane west wind [00:02:05]

When suppertime came [00:02:24]

The old cook came on deck sayin [00:02:26]

Fellas its too rough to feed ya [00:02:28]

At seven p m a main hatchway caved in he said[00:02:34]

Fellas its been good to know ya[00:02:38]

The captain wired in he had water coming in[00:02:43]

And the good ship and crew was in peril [00:02:46]

And later that night when his lights went outta sight[00:02:51]

Came the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald [00:02:54]

Does any one know where the love of God goes[00:03:17]

When the waves turn the minutes to hours [00:03:21]

The searches all say theyd have made whitefish bay[00:03:27]

If theyd put fifteen more miles behind her [00:03:30]

They might have split up or they might have capsized;[00:03:37]

May have broke deep and took water [00:03:40]

And all that remains is the faces and the names[00:03:44]

Of the wives and the sons and the daughters [00:03:48]

Lake huron rolls superior sings[00:04:07]

In the rooms of her ice-water mansion [00:04:11]

Old michigan steams like a young mans dreams;[00:04:14]

The islands and bays are for sportsmen [00:04:18]

And farther below lake ontario[00:04:24]

Takes in what lake erie can send her [00:04:28]

And the iron boats go as the mariners all know[00:04:31]

With the gales of november remembered [00:04:35]

In a musty old hall in detroit they prayed [00:05:14]

In the maritime sailors cathedral [00:05:17]

The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times[00:05:23]

For each man on the edmund fitzgerald [00:05:27]

The legend lives on from the chippewa on down[00:05:33]

Of the big lake they call gitche gumee [00:05:36]

Superior they said never gives up her dead[00:05:42]

When the gales of november come early[00:05:46]
