And eve-ry man_ knew as__ the cap-tain did too__
T'was the witch of No- vem-ber come stea-lin'__| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
The dawn__ came late and__ the break-fast had to wait_
When the Gales of No- vem-ber came sla-shin'__| _ _ |
When af-ter-noon came it was free-zin' rain_
In the face of a hur-ri-cane west wind___| _ _ |

He said " Fellas it's been good__ to know ya"___| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
The cap-tain wired in he had water_ comin' in_
And the good ship and crew was in pe-ril___| _ _ |
And la-ter_ that night__ when 'is lights went outta sight_
Came the wreck of the Ed-mund Fitz- ge-rald___| _ _ |

Does anyone_ know_ where_ the love of God goes_
When the waves_ turn the minutes_ to hours_ | _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
The searchers 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 cap sized_
They may have broke deep and took water__ | _ _ |
And all that re mains is the faces and the names_
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters___| _ _ |

Lake Huron_ ro-olls_ Su perior 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__| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |

In a musty old_ hall_ in De troit_ they prayed_
In the " Maritime_ Sailors'_ Ca thedral"__| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
The church bell__ chimed_ till it rang twenty-nine_ times_
For each man on the Edmund Fitz gerald__| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
The legend lives on_ from the Chippewa on down_
Of the big lake they call_ "Gitche Gumee"__| _ _ | _ _ | _ _ |
"Su perior" they said "never_ gives up her dead_
