Karaoke Track: Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot (Monster Hits)

The legend lives on
From the Chippewa
On down

The lake if is said
Never gives up her dead

When the skies of

November turn 9 loo my

With a load of iron ore
26,000 tons more

Than the
Edmund Fitzgerald
Weighed empty

Thai good ship and hue
Was a bone to be chewed

When he gales of

November ca me ea rly

The ship was the pride
Of the American side
Co min&#39; back from some
Mill in Wisconsin

As the big freighters
(30 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 ihat night
When the ship&#39;s

Bell rang
Could it be the north
Wind they&#39;d been feelin&#39;

(Instrumental Break)

The wind in the wires

Made a faiilefole sound
And a wave broke
Over the railing

And every man knew
As the Captain did too

Twas the witch

Of November

Come sfea lin&#39;

The down came Iafe and
The breakfast had to wait
When he gales of

November came slashin&#39;

When afternoon come
It was freezin&#39; rain

In the face of
A hurricane west wind

(Instrumental Break)

When supperiime came
The old cook came on deck
Sayin&#39; fellas ifs foo

Rough to feed ya

A1 seven p.m. a main
Hafchway caved in

He said, fellas it&#39;s been
Good to know ya

The captain wired in
He had water comin&#39; in

And the good ship and

Crew was in peril

And later ihaf night
When &#39;is lighis went

Out of sight
Come the wreck of

The Ed mund Fitzgerald

(Instrumental Break)

Does anyone know
Where the love of
God goes

The searchers all say

They&#39;d have made
Whitefish buy

If they&#39;d put fifteen more
Miles behind her

They might have
Split up or they

Might have capsized
They may have broke
Deep and took wafer

And all that remains
Is the faces

And the names
Ot the wives and the sons

And the daug hters

(Instrumental Break)

Lake Huron rolls
Superior sings

Old Michigan sfeams
Like a young man&#39;s dreams
The islands and buys

Are for sportsmen

And further below
Lake Onto rio

Takes in what
Lake Erie can send her

And the iron boats 90
As the ma riners all know

With the gales of

November remembered

(Instrumental Break)

In a musty oId hoII

In Detroit they prayed
In the ma riiime

Sailors&#39; cathedral

The church bell chimed

TiI if rang 29 times
For each man on

The Ed mund Fiizgerald

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 co me ea rly
