And fired our guns, till underneath The waves they disappeared.
Fur when the gun deck was awash, We on the spar deck fought.
While shipmates, stripped down to their waists, Us ammunition brought; And thar we worked the pivot guns, Till with a lurch and lunge Our brave craft to the bottom went With one appallin' plunge.
And with her many a gallant lad Went to a briny grave; While others uv us that could swim Struck out our lives to save; And some laid hold uv floating stuflf.
And some the mainma...st seize, From which Old Glory proudly yet Wuz floating in the breeze.
LOSS OF THE CONGRESS AND CUMBERLAND.
At fust I started fur the beach, But when, near by, I seen The Congress tackled by the Rebs, I thought it kinder mean To leave her lads a strugglin' thar And me git safe ashore; And so I shaped another course.
And fur the frigate bore.
I reached her soon and caught a rope And hauled myself aboard; An' awfuler sight I never seed.
Fur out the scuppers poured Dark, sickenin' streams uv human blood From mangled men that lay In heaps about the gory deck, Blown from their guns away.
