A Song Composed about a Shipwreck (continued)
“It was with a precious cargo from Bergenn we set sail.”
(continued from previous page)And laid him down to die
While his innocent blood for mercy, to Heaven loud did cry,
As for Bill McLoughlin he lived near the head of Strove,
He was as clever as a young man as was reared along the shore,
And to his sad misfortune, the unlucky voyage did go,
On board of the Mary Snow.
Which proved his overthrow
but if God had spared him longer days,
And saved him from being drowned
He would have fetched his ship and cargo
Into Londonderry townChorus
Don't you see the long glen eagles, don't you see them in a row
Don't you see the long glen eagles, coming to wreck our "Mary Snow"- Collector
