[Verse 1]
The Asus2legend lives on from the EmChippewa on down
Of the Gbig lake they Dcalled Gitche GuAsus2mee
The lake, it is said, never Emgives up her dead
When the skieGs of NoDvember turn Asus2gloomy
With a load of iron ore twentysix Emthousand tons more
Than the GEdmund FitzDgerald weighed Asus2empty
That good ship and true was a Embone to be chewed
When the "GaGles of NoDvember" came Asus2early
[Verse 2]
The Asus2ship was the pride of the AEmmerican side
Coming Gback from some Dmill in WiscoAsus2nsin
As the big freighters go, it was Embigger than most
With a Gcrew and good Dcaptain well Asus2seasoned
Concluding some terms with a Emcouple of steel firms
When they Gleft fully Dloaded for CleAsus2veland
And later that night when the Emship's bell rang
Could it Gbe the north Dwind they'd been Asus2feelin'?
[Verse 3]
Asus2 G6/A D/A Asus2 The Asus2wind in the wires made a Emtattletale sound
And a Gwave broke Dover the Asus2railing
And ev'ry man knew, as the Emcaptain did too
'twas the G"Witch of NoDvember" come Asus2stealin'
The dawn came late and the Embreakfast had to wait
When the GGales of NoDvember came Asus2slashin'
When afternoon came it was freeEmzin' rain
In the Gface of a hurDricane Asus2west wind

When Asus2suppertime came the old Emcook came on deck sayin'
G"Fellas, it's Dtoo rough t'feeAsus2d ya "
At seven P.M. a main Emhatchway caved in; he said
G"Fellas, it's Dbin good tAsus2'know ya !"
The captain wired in he had Emwater comin' in
And the Ggood ship and Dcrew was in Asus2peril
And later that night when 'is lighEmts went outta sight
Came the Gwreck of the EdDmund FitzAsus2gerald

Does Asus2any one know where the Emlove of God goes
When the Gwaves turn the Dminutes to hoAsus2urs?
The searchers all say they'd have maEmde Whitefish Bay
If they'd Gput fifteen Dmore miles beAsus2hind 'er
They might have split up or they Emmight have capsized;
They Gmay have broke Ddeep and took Asus2water
And all that remains is the Emfaces and the names
Of the Gwives and the Dsons and the daughAsus2ters

Asus2Lake Huron rolls, SuEmperior sings
In the Grooms of her iceDwater maAsus2nsion
Old Michigan steams like a Emyoung man's dreams;
The isGlands and Dbays are for spoAsus2rtsmen
And farther below Lake OnEmtario
Takes Gin what Lake DErie can Asus2send her
And the iron boats go as the Emmariners all know
With the GGales of NovemDber remeAsus2mbered

[Verse 7]
In a Asus2musty old hall in DetEmroit they prayed
In the "MaGritime DSailors' CaAsus2thedral"
The church bell chimed 'til it rang Emtwentynine times
For each Gman on the EdDmund FitzAsus2gerald
The legend lives on from the EmChippewa on down
Of the biGg lake they callD Gitche GuAsus2mee
"Superior," they said, "never Emgives up her dead
When the gaGles of NovemDber come Asus2early !"
