�At Fairmount's Bay on that Christmas weekThere was such a raging storm no man could speakThe lightboat thundered through an angry seaIt was called Solomon Brown and her companyWith courage it was calledOur heroes brief and boldWith courage it was calledUpon that nightNow the stricken coast had called the Union StarA maiden voyage she never thought that farWith Captain Martin and his four-man crewA woman to save and her daughters tooNever had a lightboat but fought in vainShe could have made a dash for port but they tried againOnce the Sixteen perished in that mighty waveThey tossed them overboard to the watery graveWith courage it was calledOur heroes brief and boldWith courage it was calledUpon that nightNow that could pen the pointBut times stood stillFor twelve young children cried for their fathers killedA nation shed tears for years as the news went aroundThe constant courage of our Solomon BrownWith courage it was calledOur heroes brief and boldWith courage it was calledUpon that nightWith courage it was calledOur heroes brief and boldWith courage it was calledUpon that nightFall of the Argon ticketsWith courage it was calledOur heroes brief and bold
