The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down <br>
Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'<br>
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead<br>
When the skies of November turn gloomy<br>
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more<br>
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.<br>
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed<br>
When the gales of November came early. <br>
<br>
The ship was the pride of the American side<br>
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin<br>
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most<br>
With a crew and good captain well seasoned<br>
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms<br>
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland<br>
And later that night when the ship's bell rang<br>
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'? <p>The wind in the wires made a
tattle-tale sound<br>
And a wave broke over the railing<br>
And every man knew, as the captain did too,<br>
T'was the witch of November come stealin'.<br>
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait<br>
When the Gales of November came slashin'.<br>
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain<br>
In the face of a hurricane west wind. </p>
<p>When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'.<br>
Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya.<br>
At Seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said<br>
Fellas, it's been good t'know ya<br>
The captain wired in he had water comin' in<br>
And the good ship and crew was in peril.<br>
And later that night when his lights went outta sight<br>
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. </p>
<p>Does any one know where the love of God goes<br>
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?<br>
The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay<br>
If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her.<br>
They might have split up or they might have capsized;<br>
May have broke deep and took water.<br>
And all that remains is the faces and the names<br>
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters. </p>
<p>Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings<br>
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.<br>
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;<br>
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.<br>
And farther below Lake Ontario<br>
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her,<br>
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know<br>
With the Gales of November remembered. </p>
<p>In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,<br>
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.<br>
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times<br>
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.<br>
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down<br>
Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'.<br>
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead<br>
When the gales of November come early!</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 3:35 PM, J Ford <<a href="mailto:privatejf32@hotmail.com">privatejf32@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

Does anyone remember a song that had to do with the "Sinking of the Edmond.....?" I think it was about a ship in that sank in one of the Great Lakes. I thought it was a song by Roger Whitiker, but I can't seem to find it. The voice of the singer was very deep and I believe it was during the 1970's that it came out. Any help would be appreciated.<br>
