|
The
|
|
legend
|
|
lives
|
|
on
|
|
from
|
|
the
|
|
Chippewa
|
|
on
|
|
down
|
|
Of
|
|
the
|
|
big
|
|
lake
|
|
they
|
|
call
|
|
'Gitche
|
|
Gumee'
|
|
the
|
|
lake
|
|
it
|
|
is
|
|
said,
|
|
never
|
|
gives
|
|
up
|
|
her
|
|
dead
|
|
When
|
|
the
|
|
skies
|
|
of
|
|
November
|
|
turn
|
|
gloomy
|
|
With
|
|
a
|
|
load
|
|
of
|
|
iron
|
|
ore,
|
|
twenty-six
|
|
thousand
|
|
tons
|
|
more
|
|
than
|
|
the
|
|
Edmund
|
|
Fitzgerald
|
|
weighed
|
|
empty
|
|
That
|
|
good
|
|
ship
|
|
and
|
|
true
|
|
was
|
|
a
|
|
bone
|
|
to
|
|
be
|
|
chewed
|
|
When
|
|
the
|
|
gales
|
|
of
|
|
November
|
|
|
Lyrics
|
|
came
|
|
early
|
|
The
|
|
ship
|
|
was
|
|
the
|
|
pride
|
|
of
|
|
the
|
|
American
|
|
side
|
|
Coming
|
|
back
|
|
from
|
|
some
|
|
mill
|
|
in
|
|
Wisconsin
|
|
As
|
|
the
|
|
big
|
|
freighters
|
|
go,
|
|
it
|
|
was
|
|
bigger
|
|
than
|
|
most
|
|
With
|
|
a
|
|
crew
|
|
and
|
|
good
|
|
captain
|
|
well
|
|
seasoned
|
|
Concluding
|
|
some
|
|
terms
|
|
with
|
|
a
|
|
couple
|
|
of
|
|
steel
|
|
firms
|
|
when
|
|
they
|
|
left
|
|
fully
|
|
loaded
|
|
for
|
|
Cleveland
|
|
Then
|
|
later
|
|
that
|
|
night
|
|
when
|
|
the
|
|
ship's
|
|
bell
|
|
rang
|
|
could
|
|
it
|
|
be
|
|
the
|
|
north
|
|
|
Lyrics
|
|
wind
|
|
they'd
|
|
been
|
|
feelin'?
|
|
The
|
|
wind
|
|
in
|
|
the
|
|
wires
|
|
made
|
|
a
|
|
tattle-tale
|
|
sound
|
|
When
|
|
the
|
|
wave
|
|
broke
|
|
over
|
|
the
|
|
railin'
|
|
And
|
|
every
|
|
man
|
|
knew,
|
|
as
|
|
the
|
|
captain
|
|
did
|
|
too
|
|
'Twas
|
|
the
|
|
witch
|
|
of
|
|
November
|
|
come
|
|
stealin'
|
|
The
|
|
dawn
|
|
came
|
|
late
|
|
and
|
|
the
|
|
breakfast
|
|
had
|
|
to
|
|
wait
|
|
When
|
|
the
|
|
gales
|
|
of
|
|
November
|
|
came
|
|
slashin'
|
|
When
|
|
afternoon
|
|
came
|
|
it
|
|
was
|
|
freezing
|
|
rain
|
|
In
|
|
the
|
|
face
|
|
of
|
|
a
|
|
hurricane
|

|
Lyrics
|
|
west
|
|
wind
|
|
When
|
|
suppertime
|
|
came,
|
|
the
|
|
old
|
|
cook
|
|
came
|
|
on
|
|
deck
|
|
Sayin',
|
|
'Fellas,
|
|
it's
|
|
too
|
|
rough
|
|
to
|
|
feed
|
|
ya"
|
|
At
|
|
7 p.m.
|
|
a
|
|
main
|
|
hatchway
|
|
caved
|
|
in
|
|
He
|
|
said,
|
|
"Fellas,
|
|
it's
|
|
been
|
|
good
|
|
to
|
|
know
|
|
ya"
|
|
The
|
|
captain
|
|
wired
|
|
in,
|
|
he
|
|
had
|
|
water
|
|
comin'
|
|
in
|
|
And
|
|
the
|
|
good
|
|
ship
|
|
and
|
|
crew
|
|
was
|
|
in
|
|
peril
|
|
And
|
|
later
|
|
that
|
|
night
|
|
when
|
|
his
|
|
lights
|
|
went
|
|
out
|
|
of
|
|
sight
|
|
Came
|
|
|
Lyrics
|
|
the
|
|
wreck
|
|
of
|
|
the
|
|
Edmund
|
|
Fitzgerald
|
|
Does
|
|
anyone
|
|
know
|
|
where
|
|
the
|
|
love
|
|
of
|
|
God
|
|
goes
|
|
When
|
|
the
|
|
waves
|
|
turn
|
|
the
|
|
minutes
|
|
to
|
|
hours?
|
|
The
|
|
searchers
|
|
all
|
|
say
|
|
they'd
|
|
have
|
|
made
|
|
Whitefish

Bay
|
|
If
|
|
they'd
|
|
put
|
|
fifteen
|
|
more
|
|
miles
|
|
behind
|
|
her
|
|
They
|
|
might
|
|
have
|
|
split
|
|
up
|
|
or
|
|
they
|
|
might
|
|
have
|
|
capsized
|
|
They
|
|
may
|
|
have
|
|
broke
|
|
deep
|
|
and
|
|
took
|
|
water
|
|
And
|
|
all
|
|
that
|
|
remains
|
|
is
|
|
the

Of
