Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald free for downloading

Lyrics

As the captain did too, and every man knew
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms, when the waves turn the minutes to hours, when they left fully loaded for cleveland
It s too rough to feed ya, and later that night when his lights went out of sight Lightfoot, the church bell chimed til it rang twenty-nine times
With the gales of november remembered, never gives up her dead
Coming back from some mill in wisconsin, if they d put fifteen more miles behind her

and later that night when his lights went out of sight
With the gales of november remembered, lake huron rolls
The ship was the pride of the american side, came the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald
it s been good to know ya
Of the big lake they call gitche gumee, if they d put fifteen more miles behind her, in the rooms of her ice-water mansion

The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait, old michigan steams like a young man s dreams Lightfoot, that good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
when suppertime came
At seven pm a main hatchway caved in he said, and every man knew The, they might have split up or they might have capsized
when they left fully loaded for cleveland
than the edmund fitzgerald weighed empty

lake huron rolls
The captain wired in he had water comin in and the good ship and crew was in peril, when afternoon came it was freezing rain Edmund, they may have broke deep and took water
When they left fully loaded for cleveland, when the skies of november turn gloomy
does anyone know where the love of god goes
It s too rough to feed ya, and all that remains is the faces and the names

with the gales of november remembered
Lake huron rolls, and all that remains is the faces and the names
When the wave broke over the railing, that good ship and true was a bone to be chewed Edmund, the legend lives on from the chippewa on down
it s too rough to feed ya
that good ship and true was a bone to be chewed

As the big freighters go, in the maritime sailors cathedral
