And the captain felt the ship

And the captain felt the ship

 

 

Was it the weather or the ship,

that the captain felt?

 

Who knows,

who could feel what a captain feels?

 

A ship and its crew in peril,

the good captain gave the order,

and all good hands followed his orders.

 

Let not it be said that the Captain and crew,

gave less than who they were.

 

With iron ore in her hold,

the Captain pushed forward,

the crew knew it was their duty.

 

No one could ask for a better crew or captain.

 

Some have said many things of what happened that night,

but I know that what happens on lake Erie,

happens without a reason.
