- You mariners and fishermen,
Come listen to my song,
And if you will attention pay
It won't delay you long
How six poor men did lose their lives
It grieves me for to say
Nigh to the shores of Kilcrohane
That lies in Dunmanus BayOn the 20th of September
All in that present year
That was the night of a terrible gale
Through the country far and near
Just as the sun had gone to rest
They went their nets to cast
They little thought upon that night
That it would be their lastThose six young men
Were in their prime
And healthy for to view
Two of them were McCarthy's
Tim Spillane and Donovan's two
And also Charles Coughlan
As the public papers tell
But I hope for all eternity(continues on next page)- Informant
