SS Edmund Fitzgerald
And all that remains is the faces and names of the wives and the sons and the daughters...

Hail hero, hail hero, child of the sun
All covered with flowers still having your fun

Hail hero, hail hero, let me see you smile
You been gone for so damn long, I wish you'd stay awhile

Theme song of Hail Hero! (1969)

Hail hero, hail hero, child of your fate
Come into the kitchen don't stand by the gate
And show us your wisdom before it's too late

Theme song of Hail Hero! (1969)

The liquor tasted good and here the women all were fast...
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I'll best be on my way
In the early morning rain

Lightfoot! (1966)

And the body of a dead youth
Lies stretched upon the ground
Upon the filthy pavements
No reason can be found
Black day in July

Did She Mention My Name? (1968)

Satin rays and coloured days
Stark blue horizons
Naked limbs and wheat bins, hazy afternoons
Voicing, rejoicing the wine cups do bring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses

Did She Mention My Name? (1968)

If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winters night with you

The Way I Feel (1967)

I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong,
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back.

Sit Down Young Stranger (1970)
