The Lyrics

Trying to keep up a long-standing tradition.
Well, the sky was blue and the water, too
When she left Wisconsin's shore
She was ably manned and the week was planned
For delivering the ore

Then the long awaited holidays
Would fill them all with cheer
A time for friends and family
At the turning of the year

Excitement great back in fifty eight
When they shattered the champagne
Soon the biggest and the fastest ship
Left the others in her train

As supplier to the industry
She enjoyed a steady run
And the place she'd fill in history
It had only just begun

Time relieves the fear and pain
While the legends and the love remain
We meet today and
We ring the bell again

When the sky turned grey that autumn day
Wind would churn the waves to foam
And the twenty-nine brave mariners
Would never more see home

Second only to Titanic
She would earn a morbid fame
And the longest song we ever heard
Would preserve Fitzgerald's name

And the longest song that the stations played
It would bear Fitzgerald's name
