"Gord's Gold, Vol. 2" is a compilation album released by Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot in 1988.

As with the first volume, "Vol. 1", "Vol. 2" features re-recordings of earlier hits alongside the contemporary material. On "Gord's Gold" only the early songs that didn't match Lightfoot's 70s sound were re-recorded. However, on "Vol. 2" all tracks, apart from "Make Way (For The Lady)," "Ghosts Of Cape Horn," Baby Step Back," and "It's Worth Believin'" were re-recorded. The album also contains "If It Should Please You," a previously unrecorded song that the band often performed in concert. Some tracks on "Vol. 2" that had been released during the 1980s sound almost identical to their original recording. Additionally, the re-recorded tracks were recorded live in the studio.

"If It Should Please You" made its first appearance on an album although it had previously been a concert favourite of Lightfoot's. "Ghosts of Cape Horn" and "It's Worth Believin'" did not appear on the vinyl release.
