The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald (1988 Version) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]

The legend lives on from[00:00:15]

The Chippewa on down[00:00:17]

Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee[00:00:18]

The lake it is said[00:00:24]

Never gives up her dead[00:00:26]

When the skies of November turn gloomy[00:00:27]

With a load of iron ore[00:00:33]

Twenty-six thousand tons more[00:00:35]

Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty[00:00:37]

That good ship and true was[00:00:43]

A bone to be chewed[00:00:44]

When the gales of November came early[00:00:46]

The ship was the pride of the American side[00:00:52]

Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin[00:00:55]

As the big freighters go[00:00:59]

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

With a crew and good captain well seasoned[00:01:03]

Concluding some terms with[00:01:07]

A couple steel firms[00:01:08]

When they left fully loaded for Cleveland[00:01:10]

And later that night when the ship's bell rang[00:01:14]

Could it be the north wind[00:01:18]

They'd been feelin'[00:01:19]

The wind in the wires[00:01:31]

Made the tattle tale sound[00:01:33]

And the wave broke over the railing[00:01:35]

And every man knew[00:01:41]

As the captain did too[00:01:42]

T'was the witch of November come stealin'[00:01:44]

The dawn came late and[00:01:50]

The breakfast had to wait[00:01:52]

When the gales of November came slashin'[00:01:53]

When afternoon came[00:01:57]

It was freezin' rain[00:01:59]

In the face of a hurricane west wind[00:02:01]

When supper time came[00:02:20]

The old cook came on deck sayin'[00:02:21]

Fellas it's too rough to feed ya[00:02:24]

At 7 P M a main hatchway caved in he said[00:02:29]

Fellas it's been good to know ya[00:02:33]

The captain wired in he had water comin' in[00:02:38]

And the good ship and crew was in peril[00:02:41]

And later that night when[00:02:45]

His lights went out of sight[00:02:47]

Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald[00:02:49]

Does any one know where[00:03:12]

The love of God goes[00:03:14]

When the waves turn the minutes to hours[00:03:15]

The searchers all say they'd[00:03:21]

Have made Whitefish Bay[00:03:23]

If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her[00:03:24]

They might have split up[00:03:31]

Or they might have capsized[00:03:32]

They may have broke deep and took water[00:03:34]

And all that remains is[00:03:38]

The faces and the names[00:03:40]

Of the wives and the sons and the daughters[00:03:41]

Lake Huron rolls[00:04:00]

Superior sings[00:04:02]

In the rooms of her ice water mansion[00:04:03]

Old Michigan steams like[00:04:07]

A young man's dreams[00:04:09]

The islands and bays are for sportsmen[00:04:11]

And farther below Lake Ontario[00:04:17]

Takes in what Lake Erie can send her[00:04:20]

And the iron boats go[00:04:24]

As the mariners all know[00:04:25]

With the gales of November remembered[00:04:27]

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

In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral[00:05:08]

The church bell chimed 'til[00:05:15]

It rang twenty-nine times[00:05:16]

For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald[00:05:18]

The legend lives on from[00:05:24]

The Chippewa on down[00:05:25]

Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'[00:05:27]

Superior they said[00:05:33]

Never gives up her dead[00:05:34]

When the gales of November come early[00:05:36]
