Sleeping to wake no more! Number'd in that three hundred, who failed to reach the shore. Oh! 'Tis the cry of children Weeping for parents gone; Children who slept at evening But orphans awoke at dawn. Sisters for brother weeping, Husbands for missing wives --- Such are the ties dissever'd With those three hundred lives. cho: Staunch was the noble steamer, Precious the freight she bore; Gaily she loosed her cables, A few short hours before. Grandly she swept our harbor, Joyfully rang her bell; Little thought we e'er morning 'Twould toll so sad a knell. cho: The Lady Elgin, a side-wheel excursion boat that cruised Lake Michigan, collided with a lumber steamer on a trip from Milwaukee to Chicago in 1860. @sailor @death @wrecks filename[ LDYELGN play.exe LDYELGN play.exe LDYELGN2 (folk-processed melody} RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Lucky Lindy, Lumbermans Alphabet, Lumpy Tums, Lure Of The Sea, Lutefisk O Lutefisk, Lynchburg Town, Ma Sheela, Macalister Dances Before The King, Maccrimmons Lament, Macnamaras Band, Macphersons Farewell, Madagascar Native Anthem Text, Madam Im A Darlin, Maggie Dear, Maggie May, Maggie Was A Lady Frankie Johnny Variant, Mahan Stein Song, Maid And The Robber, Maid Gaed Tae The Mill, Maid On The Shore, Maid On The Shore2, Maidens Lament, Maids Conjuring Book, Maids When Youre Young Never Wed An Old Man, Mairis Wedding, Make Me Operations, Make New Friends Round, Makin Coffee, Makin Whoopee Union Version, Making My Will Father Abdeys Will, Making Whoopee, Malawi Anthem Text, Malawi Native Anthem Text, Malaysia Native Anthem Text, Maldives Anthem Text, Maldives Native Anthem Text, Mama Dont Low, Mama Sings, Mamas Dont Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys, Man At The Nore, Man Behind The Armor Plated Desk, Man Of Constant Sorrow, Man On The Flying Trapeze, Man That Waters The Workers Beer, Man With A Microphone, Mandy, Mandy Lee I Love You deed I Do, Manowar Sailor, Many A Mile I Have Gone, Marching Inland, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
