[00:00.00] 作词 : Gordon Lightfoot
[00:01.00] 作曲 : Gordon Lightfoot
[00:16.59]The legend lives on from the
[00:18.69]Chippewa on down
[00:20.40]Of the big lake they called '
[00:21.87]Gitche Gumee'
[00:22.74]The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
[00:29.52]When the skies of
[00:30.69]November turn gloomy
[00:35.61]With a load of iron ore, twenty-six thousand tons more
[00:39.54]Than the Edmund
[00:40.44]Fitzgerald weighed empty
[00:45.27]That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
[00:48.84]When the gales of
[00:49.98]November came early
[00:55.05]The ship was the pride of the
[00:57.06]American side
[00:58.71]Coming back from some mill in
[01:02.46]WisconsinAs the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
[01:06.36]With a crew and good captain well-seasoned
[01:10.38]Concluding some terms with a couple steel firms
[01:14.22]When they left fully loaded for
[01:16.20]ClevelandAnd later that night when the ship's bell rang
[01:22.05]Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
[01:36.00]The wind in the wires made the tattle-tale sound
[01:39.87]And the wave broke over the railing
[01:45.87]And every man knew, as the captain did too
[01:49.35]T'was the witch of
[01:50.31]November come stealin'
[01:52.08]The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
[01:58.86]When the gales of
[02:00.00]November came slashin'
[02:03.09]When afternoon came, it was freezin' rain
[02:06.84]In the face of a hurricane west wind
[02:26.52]When supper time came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
[02:30.66]Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya
[02:32.94]At 7 P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said
[02:40.17]Fellas, it's been good to know ya
[02:45.84]The captain wired in he had water comin' in
[02:49.29]And the good ship and crew was in peril
[02:53.55]And later that night when his lights went out of sight
[02:57.06]Came the wreck of the
[02:58.23]Edmund Fitzgerald
[03:20.43]Does any one know where the love of
[03:23.13]God goesWhen the waves turn the minutes to hours?
[03:30.15]The searchers all say they'd have made
[03:32.76]Whitefish
[03:33.33]BayIf they'd put fifteen more miles behind her
[03:39.81]They might have split up or they might have capsized
[03:43.53]They may have broke deep and took water
[03:47.55]And all that remains is the faces and the names
[03:50.73]Of the wives and the sons and the daughters
[04:10.83]Lake Huron rolls,
[04:12.72]Superior sings
[04:14.64]In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
[04:18.48]Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
[04:22.20]The islands and bays are for sportsmen
[04:28.20]And farther below
[04:29.46]Lake Ontario
[04:31.92]Takes in what
[04:32.82]Lake Erie can send her
[04:35.82]And the iron boats go, as the mariners all know
[04:39.45]With the gales of
[04:40.44]November remembered
[05:19.14]In a musty old hall in
[05:21.03]Detroit they prayed
[05:22.71]In the Maritime
[05:24.12]Sailors' Cathedral
[05:28.86]The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
[05:32.34]For each man on the
[05:33.75]Edmund Fitzgerald
[05:38.46]The legend lives on from the
[05:40.53]Chippewa on down
[05:41.97]Of the big lake they call '
[05:47.79]Gitche Gumee'
[05:48.03]Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
[05:51.33]When the gales of
[05:52.53]November come early
