Ding Dong Ding Dong
the birds are singing
the bells are ringing twenty-nine times
for the Edmond Fitzgerald is sinking
at fifty-two feet a minute
with twenty-nine men aboard
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong
the bells rang twenty-nine times
for every sailor for every man
for they went to the bottom
to never be seen again
they fell down twenty-nine fathoms and fifty-two leagues
to the bottom of the Witches lair and she
never lets anyone go
‘cause it has been said that Superior never gives
up her dead.
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong

I was inspired by the song "The Reck of the Edmond Fitzgerald."
