The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]

The legend lives on from[00:00:19]

The Chippewa on down[00:00:20]

Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'[00:00:22]

The lake it is said never gives up her dead[00:00:28]

When the skies of November turn gloomy[00:00:31]

With a load of iron ore[00:00:38]

Twenty-six thousand tons more[00:00:39]

Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty [00:00:41]

That good ship and crew[00:00:47]

Was a bone to be chewed[00:00:49]

When the gales of November came early [00:00:51]

The ship was the pride of the American side[00:00:57]

Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin[00:01:00]

As the big freighters go [00:01:05]

It was bigger than most[00:01:06]

With a crew and good captain well seasoned[00:01:08]

Concluding some terms[00:01:12]

With a couple of steel firms[00:01:14]

When they left fully loaded for Cleveland[00:01:16]

And later that night when the ship's bell rang[00:01:20]

Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin' [00:01:24]

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound[00:01:38]

And a wave broke over the railing[00:01:41]

And every man knew as the captain did too [00:01:48]

T'was the witch of November come stealin' [00:01:51]

The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait[00:01:57]

When the Gales of November came slashin' [00:02:01]

When afternoon came it was freezin' rain[00:02:05]

In the face of a hurricane west wind [00:02:09]

When suppertime came [00:02:28]

The old cook came on deck sayin' [00:02:30]

Fellas it's too rough to feed ya [00:02:33]

At Seven P M a main[00:02:38]

Hatchway caved in he said[00:02:40]

Fellas it's been good t'know ya[00:02:42]

The captain wired in he had water comin' in[00:02:48]

And the good ship and crew was in peril [00:02:51]

And later that night when[00:02:55]

His lights went outta sight[00:02:57]

Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald [00:02:59]

Does any one know[00:03:22]

Where the love of God goes[00:03:24]

When the waves turn the minutes to hours [00:03:26]

The searches all say they'd[00:03:32]

Have made Whitefish Bay[00:03:34]

If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her [00:03:36]

They might have split up[00:03:42]

Or they might have capsized;[00:03:43]

May have broke deep and took water [00:03:45]

And all that remains[00:03:49]

Is the faces and the names[00:03:51]

Of the wives and[00:03:53]

The sons and the daughters [00:03:54]

Lake Huron rolls Superior sings[00:04:13]

In the rooms of her ice-water mansion [00:04:16]

Old Michigan steams[00:04:20]

Like a young man's dreams;[00:04:22]

The islands and bays are for sportsmen [00:04:24]

And farther below Lake Ontario[00:04:30]

Takes in what Lake Erie can send her [00:04:34]

And the iron boats go as[00:04:38]

The mariners all know[00:04:39]

With the Gales of November remembered [00:04:41]

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed [00:05:21]

In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral [00:05:24]

The church bell chimed till[00:05:31]

It rang twenty-nine times[00:05:32]

For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald [00:05:34]

The legend lives on from[00:05:40]

The Chippewa on down[00:05:42]

Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee' [00:05:44]

Superior they said never gives up her dead[00:05:50]

When the gales of November come early[00:05:53]
