Chippewa on down to the big lake they call Gitche Gumee.
The lake, it is said,
D

ber turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore
D
A
ald weighed empty
That good shippin' crew
G

A
When the gales of November came early
The ship was the pride of the
D
A
ville and Wisconsin
As the big freighters go
G
D
With a crew and good captain
Concluding some terms
G

When they left fully loaded
Then later that night
G

Could it be the north wind
A
G

making feelings?
The wind and the wires
G

When the wave broke over the railing
And every man knew,

The dawn came late

If they'd put fifteen more
They might have split up

They may have broke deep
And all that remains is the

Of the wives and the sons and

In the rooms of her ice -water mansion
Oh, Michigan steams like a

The iron boats go as the

With the gales of November remembered
