At Fairmount's Bay on that Christmas week
There was such a raging storm no man could speak
The lightboat thundered through an angry sea
It was called Solomon Brown and her company
With courage it was called
Our heroes brief and bold
With courage it was called
Upon that night
Now the stricken coast had called the Union Star
A maiden voyage she never thought that far
With Captain Martin and his four-man crew
A woman to save and her daughters too
Never had a lightboat but fought in vain
She could have made a dash for port but they tried again
Once the Sixteen perished in that mighty wave
They tossed them overboard to the watery grave
With courage it was called
Our heroes brief and bold
With courage it was called
Upon that night
Now that could pen the point
But times stood still
For twelve young children cried for their fathers killed
A nation shed tears for years as the news went around
The constant courage of our Solomon Brown
With courage it was called
Our heroes brief and bold
With courage it was called
Upon that night
With courage it was called
Our heroes brief and bold
With courage it was called
Upon that night
Fall of the Argon tickets
With courage it was called
Our heroes brief and bold
