richard hawley – the ellan vannin tragedy lyrics
snaefell, tynwald, ben my chree
fourteen ships had sailed the sea
proudly bearing a manx name
but there’s one will never again
oh ellan vannin, of the isle of man company
oh ellan vannin, lost in the irish sea
at one a.m. in ramsey bay
captain teare was heard to say
“our contract said deliver the mail
in this rough weather we must not fail”
oh ellan vannin, of the isle of man company
oh ellan vannin, lost in the irish sea
ocean liners sheltered from the storm
ellan vannin on the wave was borne
her hold was full and battened down
as she sailed towards far liverpool town
oh ellan vannin, of the isle of man company
oh ellan vannin, lost in the irish sea
with a crew of twenty-one manxmen
her p-ssengers liverpool businessmen
farewell mona’s isle farewell
this little ship was bound for h-ll
oh ellan vannin, of the isle of man company
oh ellan vannin, lost in the irish sea
less than a mile from the bar lightship
by a mighty wave ellan vannin was hit
she sank in the waters of liverpool bay
there she lies until this day
oh ellan vannin, of the isle of man company
oh ellan vannin, lost in the irish sea
few manxmen now remember
the third day of the month december
the terrible storm in nineteen-nine
ellan vannin sailed for the very last time
oh ellan vannin, of the isle of man company
oh ellan vannin, lost in the irish sea
