- The Lady Charlotte
Come all you brother mariners.
And listen to my song.
And likewise pay attention.
I wont detain you long.
I belong to the Lady Charlotte
From Lima we set sail.
Homeward bound for Liverpool.
With a sweet and pleasant gale.

Our cargo, it consisted
Of dollars and great store.
Barks, seeds, hides, wool.
Gold dust and silver ore.
Our captain's name was George Mac Gill.
A man of skill profound.
Our jolly crew in perfect health.
And our good ship tight and sound.

Our hearts were light, and cheerful.
Our spirits they were great.
Until we reached the Irish coast.
Most dreadful to relate.
The wind, it blew a hurricane.
Regardless of our might.
Which drove us on the Barrel Rocks.(continues on next page)- Collector
