lyrics

Northwestern Mutual put up the cash
For stake in the iron and minerals dash
On August the 7th the first plate was cast
In the Birth of the Edmund Fitzgerald!

Heave ho, we’ve further to go
Each rivet and seam must be strong
Too ra loo she’s fit through and through
The ship that could never go wrong

She’ll top 15 knots when the coals burning hot
A crew of near 30 will give all they’ve got
The finest lake freighter that money has bought
The birth of the Edmund Fitzgerald!

Our chairman the president, Edmund the same
To which our fair vessel was given her name
His father and grandfather started the game
The birth of the Edmund Fitzgerald!

Heave ho we’ve further to go
Each rivet and seam must be strong
Too la roo she’s fit through and through
The ship that could never go wrong

((Slow))
The day, June the 7th, the year ‘58
When a full 15,000 did patiently wait
The bottle struck thrice but it still would not break
In the hands of Mrs ‘Lizbeth Fitzgerald

The keel blocks were frozen they couldn’t be pried
When launched she turned sideways and drenched all nearby
A man in the crowd had his heart stop and died
At the launch of the Edmund Fitzgerald...

Heave ho we’ve further to go
Each rivet and seam must be strong
Too la roo she’s fit through and through
The ship that could never go wrong
