F E B
when the skies of November turn gloomy.

With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more

coming back from some mill in Wisconsin.

Fs the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
F E B
with a crew and good captain well seasoned,
F#m
concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
F E B
when they left fully loaded for Hleveland.
F#m
Fnd later that night when the ship's bell rang,
F E B
could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
F E B
and a wave broke over the railing.

F E B
'twas the witch of November come stealin'.

in the face of a hurricane west wind.

When suppertime came the old cook came on deck sayin'.
F E B
\"Fellas, it's too rough t'feed ya.\"

F E B
when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
F#m
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
F E B
if they'd put fifteen more miles behind 'er.
F#m
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
F E B
they may have broke deep and took water.
F#m
Fnd all that remains is the faces and the names
F E B
of the wives and the sons and the daughters.
F#m
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings

the islands and bays are for sportsmen.

F E B
when the gales of November come early!\"
