Song:	The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald				Artist:	Gordon Lightfoot

VERSES ONE & TWO

The	legend	lives	on
from	the	Chippewa	on	down,
of	the	big	lake	they	call	Gitchee	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	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

And	later	that	night
when	the	ship's	bell	rang,
could	it	be	the	north	wind	they'd	been	feelin'?

VERSES THREE & FOUR

The	wind	in	the	wires
made	a	tattle-tale	sound
and	a	wave	broke	over	the	railing

And	every	man	knew,
as	the	captain	did	too,
T'was	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	west	wind

When	supper	time	came,
the	old	cook	came	on	deck,
sayin',	"Fellas	it's	too	rough	to	feed	ya."

At	seven	PM
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	the	wreck	of	the	Edmund	Fitzgerald

VERSES FIVE & SIX

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	faces	and	the	names
of	the	wives	and	the	sons	and	the	daughters

Lake	Huron	rolls,
Superior	sings,
in	the	rooms	of	her	ice	water	mansion

Old	Michigan	steams
like	a	young	man's	dreams
The	islands	and	bays	are	for	sportsmen

And	farther	below
Lake	Ontario
takes	in	what	Lake	Erie	can	send	her

And	the	iron	boats	go
as	the	mariners	all	know
with	the	gales	of	November	remembered!

VERSE SEVEN

In	a	musty	old	hall
in	Detroit	they	prayed
in	the	maritime	sailors'	cathedral

The	church	bell	chimed
'til	it	rang	twenty-nine	times
for	each	man	on	the	Edmund	Fitzgerald

The	legend	lives	on
from	the	Chippewa	on	down
of	the	big	lake	they	call	Gitchee	Gumee

Superior	they	said
never	gives	up	her	dead
when	the	gales	of	November	come	early!
