The ship was the pride of the American side
It was due to set sail for Cleveland
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned

But taking a walk on the shore by the dock
Was a songwriter named Gordon Lightfoot
He was humming a tune but it didn't have words
For it's challenging trying to write good

Poor Gordon sought glory but needed a story
His career in folk music imperiled
He mulled over this as he watched them do work
On the hull of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Perhaps it was wrong, what he did for a song
He should never have bribed that mechanic
But his maritime crimes are no worse than the time
Young James Cameron sank the Titanic
