[00:00.00] 作词 : Gordon Lightfoot
[00:01.00] 作曲 : Gordon Lightfoot
[00:16.65]The legend lives on from the
[00:18.75]Chippewa on down
[00:20.43]Of the big lake they called '
[00:21.90]Gitche Gumee'
[00:22.98]The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
[00:29.58]When the skies of
[00:30.75]November turn gloomy
[00:35.67]With a load of iron ore, twenty-six thousand tons more
[00:39.57]Than the Edmund
[00:40.50]Fitzgerald weighed empty
[00:45.30]That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
[00:48.87]When the gales of
[00:50.01]November came early
[00:55.08]The ship was the pride of the
[00:57.12]American side
[00:58.77]Coming back from some mill in
[01:02.49]WisconsinAs the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
[01:06.42]With a crew and good captain well-seasoned
[01:10.44]Concluding some terms with a couple steel firms
[01:14.25]When they left fully loaded for
[01:16.26]ClevelandAnd later that night when the ship's bell rang
[01:22.08]Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
[01:36.06]The wind in the wires made the tattle-tale sound
[01:39.93]And the wave broke over the railing
[01:45.90]And every man knew, as the captain did too
[01:49.41]T'was the witch of
[01:50.34]November come stealin'
[01:52.14]The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
[01:58.92]When the gales of
[02:00.06]November came slashin'
[02:03.09]When afternoon came, it was freezin' rain
[02:06.90]In the face of a hurricane west wind
[02:26.55]When supper time came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
[02:30.72]Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya
[02:33.00]At 7 P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said
[02:40.23]Fellas, it's been good to know ya
[02:45.90]The captain wired in he had water comin' in
[02:49.35]And the good ship and crew was in peril
[02:53.46]And later that night when his lights went out of sight
[02:57.12]Came the wreck of the
[02:58.26]Edmund Fitzgerald
[03:20.49]Does any one know where the love of
[03:23.16]God goesWhen the waves turn the minutes to hours?
[03:30.18]The searchers all say they'd have made
[03:32.82]Whitefish
[03:33.39]BayIf they'd put fifteen more miles behind her
[03:39.87]They might have split up or they might have capsized
[03:43.59]They may have broke deep and took water
[03:47.61]And all that remains is the faces and the names
[03:51.21]Of the wives and the sons and the daughters
[04:10.86]Lake Huron rolls,
[04:12.75]Superior sings
[04:14.67]In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
[04:18.51]Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
[04:22.26]The islands and bays are for sportsmen
[04:28.26]And farther below
[04:29.52]Lake Ontario
[04:31.98]Takes in what
[04:32.85]Lake Erie can send her
[04:35.88]And the iron boats go, as the mariners all know
[04:39.51]With the gales of
[04:40.50]November remembered
[05:19.17]In a musty old hall in
[05:21.06]Detroit they prayed
[05:22.77]In the Maritime
[05:24.18]Sailors' Cathedral
[05:28.89]The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
[05:32.37]For each man on the
[05:33.81]Edmund Fitzgerald
[05:38.49]The legend lives on from the
[05:40.56]Chippewa on down
[05:42.00]Of the big lake they call '
[05:47.85]Gitche Gumee'
[05:48.09]Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
[05:51.36]When the gales of
[05:52.59]November come early
