Edmund Fitzgerald
There once was a ship nicknamed the big fitz
because of its size they said it won't fit
a big ole load of 26 thou
that is a lot for that kind of style
on November the 10th the wind was real soar
but the Edmund Fitzgerald kept heading from shore
the men on the ship were all alone
the last word was
we are holding our own
she sank off the coast of whitefish Bay
thats where they are and thats where they'll stay
and when you look out you'll see a light that makes your eyes ach
and then disappear on that vast empty lake
