Verse 1. Asus2The legend lives on from Emthe chippewa on down
Of the Gbig lakDe they called Asus2"Gitche Gumee"
The lake, it is said, never Emgives up her dead
When the sGkies of NDovember turn glAsus2oomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six Emthousand tons more
Than the GEdmund FitzgDerald weighed Asus2empty.
That good ship and crew was a Embone to be chewed
When the "GGales of NDovember" came eAsus2arly.
Verse 2. The ship was the pride of the EmAmerican side
Coming Gback from sDome milAsus2l in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bEmigger than most
With a Gcrew and goDod captain Asus2well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a cEmouple of steel firms
When they lGeft fully Dloaded for Asus2Cleveland
And later that night when the Emship's bell rang
Could it Gbe the norDth wind they'd Asus2been feelin'?
Verse 3. The wind in the wires made a Emtattle-tale sound
And a Gwave broDke over Asus2the railing
And every man knew, as the Emcaptain did too,
T'was the wGitch of DNovember come Asus2stealin'.
The dawn came late and the Embreakfast had to wait
When the GGales Dof November Asus2came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was Emfreezin' rain
In the Gface of Da hurricane wAsus2est wind.
Verse 4. When suppertime came, the old Emcook came on deck
Sayin’. G"Fellas, iDt's too rough tAsus2o feed ya."
At Seven P.M. a main Emhatchway caved in',
he said G"Fellas, iDt's been good Asus2t'know ya"
The captain wired in he had Emwater comin' in
and the Ggood ship aDnd crew wAsus2as in peril.
And later that night when 'is lEmights went outta sight
Came the Gwreck of tDhe Edmund Asus2Fitzgerald.
Verse 5. Does any one know where the lEmove of God goes
When the Gwaves turn Dthe minutAsus2es to hours?
The searches all say they'd have Emmade Whitefish Bay
If they'd Gput fifteen mDore miles Asus2behind her.
They might have split up or they mEmight have capsized;
They Gmay have broDke deep and Asus2took water.
And all that remains is the Emfaces and the names
Of the Gwives and tDhe sons and Asus2the daughters.
Verse 6. Lake Huron rolls, SEmuperior sings
In the Grooms of hDer ice-wAsus2ater mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a Emyoung man's dreams;
The iGslands and Dbays are for sAsus2portsmen.
And farther below EmLake Ontario
Takes Gin what LaDke Erie can Asus2send her,
And the iron boats go as the Emmariners all know
with the GGales Dof NovemAsus2ber remembered.
Verse 7. In a musty old hall in DEmetroit they prayed,
In the G"MaritiDme SailoAsus2rs' Cathedral."
The church bell chimed till it rEmang twenty-nine times
For each mGan on the DEdmund FitzgAsus2erald.
The legend lives on from the ChEmippewa on down
Of the Gbig lake thDey call "GiAsus2tche Gumee".
"Superior", they said, "never gEmives up her dead
When the G'Gales Dof November' cAsus2ome early!"
