The Full Lyrics (thanks to Brian Ross)
===============
The legend lives on from the chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called \"Eitche Eumee\"
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 \"Eales of November\" came early.
The ship was the pride of the Fmerican side
Homing back from some mill in Wisconsin
Fs the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Honcluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Hleveland
Fnd later that night when the ship's bell rang
Hould it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
Fnd a wave broke over the railing
Fnd 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 Eales of November came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind.
When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'.
\"Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya.\"
Ft Seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in', he said
\"Fellas, it's been good t'know ya\"
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
Fnd the good ship and crew was in peril.
Fnd later that night when 'is lights went outta sight
Hame the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Boes any one know where the love of Eod goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
May have broke deep and took water.
Fnd 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.
Fnd farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
Fnd the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the Eales of November remembered.
In a musty old hall in Betroit they prayed,
In the \"Maritime Sailors' Hathedral.\"
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Hhippewa on down
Of the big lake they call \"Eitche Eumee\".
\"Superior\", they said, \"never gives up her dead
When the 'Eales of November' come early!\"
