    (continued from previous page)
    There was one Mr. Leper
    Lived at the Strand of Yore
    He was as clever a young man
    As lived along the shore
    On board of the Snow Merry
    This unlucky voyage to go
    On board of the Snow Merry
    Which proved his overthrow.
    VI
    Come all ye gallant seamen
    A warning take from me
    That when you come to Inishowen Head
    Make neither stop nor stay
    Until you land at Quigley's Point
    Or Londonderry Quay
    (Gle)nagers = the people who live in the Glen.
