1. Drowning in Dunmanus Bay

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   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 Bay

   On 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 last

   Those 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
