GL sings that song a bit differently now.

"The yap films documentary, simply called Edmund Fitzgerald and airing on the premiere episode of Dive Detectives on the History Channel on March 31, concludes there is little evidence that failure to secure the ship's hatches caused the sinking and that it was a rogue wave instead.

Lightfoot's hit 1976 song about the sinking, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, includes the verse: "At 7 p.m. a main hatchway caved in, He said, "Fellas, it's been good to know ya.'"

But for the last couple of weeks in concert in the U.S., and again on Thursday night during his Canadian tour launch at Casino Rama, Lightfoot has been singing: "At 7 p.m., it grew dark, it was then he said, 'Fellas it's been good to know ya.""
