The Gals of Dublin Town

A Salty For Topman

Track 2

Oh the Shannandoah's a good ship's name, from New York town came she,
Capt'n been an Irish man O' Donnal was his name.
Hurrah! Hurrah! for the gals o' Dub-a-lin Town
Hurrah for the bonnie green flag an' the Harp without the Crown!

The Capt'n been an Irish man a comin' from Dub-a-lin town.
And the flag he flew on our mast head was the Harp without the Crown!.

'T was on the 17th of March, we lay in Mobile bay.
Our Capt'n 'n' all the Irishmen did celebrate the day.

Oh the seamen all being union men hailin' from Dub-a-lin town,
And the flag we flew at our masthead was the Harp without the Crown

And now we're finished loading, and homeward we will sail.
May the lord above protect us love from a wintery gale

We'll send aloft our canvas lads and work without a frown.
And underneath a monkey gaff lies the Harp without the Crown.

And now we're in the channel boys, those lovely sights to see,
Them highland hills and lowland dells bring memories to me.

And we pass the Bally light  and the ship can be seen from town
And the girls all shout here comes our ship of the Harp without the Crown.

And now that we are landing, and safe on Dub-a-lin key
We'll bid goodbye to the Shannandoah and forget the bleedin' sea.

And we drink strong ale and whiskey, and pass the glass around
good luck to the bonnie Shannandoah and the Harp without the Crown
