作词 : LIGHTFOOT, G. | |
The legend lives on from the | |
Chippewa on down | |
Of the big lake they called ' | |
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 came early | |
The ship was the pride of the | |
American side | |
Coming back from some mill in | |
WisconsinAs the big freighters go, it was bigger than most | |
With a crew and good captain well-seasoned | |
Concluding some terms with a couple steel firms | |
When they left fully loaded for | |
ClevelandAnd later that night when the ship's bell rang | |
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'? | |
The wind in the wires made the tattle-tale sound | |
And the 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 freezin' 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 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 the wreck of the | |
Edmund Fitzgerald | |
Does any one know where the love of | |
God goesWhen the waves turn the minutes to hours? | |
The searchers all say they'd have made | |
Whitefish | |
BayIf 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 | |
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 ' | |
Gitche Gumee' | |
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead | |
When the gales of | |
November come early |
