The legend lives on from the chippewa on down

 Of the big lake they called gitche gumee

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 crew was a bone to be chewed

 When the gales of november came early.
