“The following song was composed by James McEntyre Behamore, Carrigallen on the sinking of the Titanic.”
(continued from previous page)Her Captain was a Sailor brave
And would not hesitate
And as the day began to dawn
The rescuing Ship espied
The sad survivors of the wreck
Full many of whom had died
All that was left of what had been
A few short hours before
The mightiest proudest floating home
That ever ocean bore
And oe'r the side each little boat
Was taken tenderly
And fainting forms were soon revived
With hospitality
And as their doleful task was done
And they could do no more
With silent prayers for all gone
down
They headed for the shore.
