Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot

Well, they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia Said, "Steve, you're way behind time This is not 38, this is Old 97 Put her into Spencer on time" Then he turned around and said to his black, greasy fireman "Shovel on a little more coal And when we cross that White Oak Mountain Watch Old 97 roll" And then a telegram come from Washington station This is how it read "Oh that brave engineer that run Old 97 Is lyin' in old Danville dead" 'Cause he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour The whistle broke into a scream He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle Scalded to death by the steam One more time Oh, now all you ladies you'd better take a warning From this time on and learn Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband He may leave you and never return, poor boy

The days of wine and roses Laugh and run away Like a child at play Through the meadowland toward a closing door A door marked "Nevermore" That wasn't there before The lonely night discloses Just a passing breeze Filled with memories Of the golden smile that introduced me to The days of wine and roses and you Wine and roses and you The days of wine and roses Laugh and run away Like a child at play Through the meadowland toward a closing door A door marked "Nevermore" That wasn't there before The lonely night, night discloses Just a passing breeze Filled with memories Of the golden smile that introduced me to The days of wine and roses and you Wine, roses and you Wine, roses, and you Wine, roses, and you Roses and you, woo, oh-ooh

Sad times, may follow your tracks Bad times, may bar you from Sak's At times, when Satan in slacks Breaks down your self control Maybe, as often it goes Your Abe-y, may tire of his rose So baby, this rule I propose Always have an ace in the hole Sad times, may follow your tracks Bad times, may bar you from Sak's At times, when Satan in slacks Breaks down your self control Maybe, as often it goes Your Abe-y, may tire of his rose So baby, this rule I propose Always have an ace in the hole Always have an ace in the hole

Would your love in all its finery Tear at the darkness all around me Until I can breathe again Until I believe again 'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks A wildfire born of frustration Born of the one love that gets me so high I've no fear at all Would your eyes like midnight fireflies Light up the trenches where my heart lies Until I can see again Find my way back again 'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks A wildfire born of frustration Born of the one love that gets me so high I've no fear at all To fall so deep into you Lose myself completely In your sweet embrace All my pain's erased From your mouth, it's all that I wish The mercy of your lips, just one kiss Until I can breathe again Until I can sing again 'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks A wildfire born of frustration Born of the one love that gets me so high I've no fear at all To fall so deep into you Lose myself completely In your sweet embrace All my pain's erased
