Didn’t he do the Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald?
The legend goes round from the Chippewa on down and something about Lake Gitcheegoomie.
Yeah there will be a thread about it on or around November 10th. Count on it.
He did indeed. It was a monster hit at the time, probably his biggest as it resonated on both sides of the border.
Yes he did. One of my favorites of his.
When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck
Sayin' "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"
At seven PM a main hatchway caved in
He said, "Fellas, it's been good to know ya"
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
And the good ship and crew was in peril
And later that night when his lights went out of sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
That song came out when I was in college. Loved it then, love it still. It was always a way to get your quarter’s worth out of the jukebox back in the day.
“Canadian Railroad Trilogy,” I have always thought, is one of the most boldly conservative songs of all time.
