the voyage of sirius - john spillane lyrics

[verse 1]
the sirius was a n0ble ship
she sailed the ocean wide
she steamed from passage to new york
and then she steamed on home to cork
she was the first to make that trip
the sirius was a famous ship
she sailed the ocean wide

[verse 2]
oh the wise man said you would as soon
send a sailor to the moon
as cross the wild atlantic
by steam boys, by steam
but captain roberts he was brave
he liberated many slaves
chased them slavеrs round the sea
he was bravе he had to be

[verse 3]
he steamed on home to passage west
set out on his golden quest
the wise man said, “you would as soon
send a sailor to the moon”

[chorus]
but all the bells were ringing, all the people singing
she steamed up the hudson river to the heart of old new york
to staten and manhattan, she tied up in battery park
hurray boys, hurray, for the sirius boys hurray
[verse 4]
her figurehead a small white dog
that held a shining star
the brightest star in all the skies
the day star, the dog star
that lovely morning star
as she sailed off from the wharf
the sirius she was but a dwarf
compared to the great western
or to the british queen
but this little paddle steamer brave
breasted every angry wave
she was the first to make it through
she linked the old world to the new

[chorus]
all the bells were ringing, all the people singing
she steamed up the hudson river to the heart of old new york
to staten and manhattan, she tied up in battery park
hurray boys, hurray, for the sirius boys hurray (woo!)

[verse 5]
if i could live a thousand years
i′d trade them for this day
“i am the toast of all new york” did captain roberts say
but his story won’t be read
till the sea gives up her dead
for an empty tomb in marmullane
pays tribute to this gallant man
[chorus]
all the bells were ringing, all the people singing
she steamed up the hudson river to the heart of old new york
to staten and manhattan, she tied up in battery park
hurray boys, hurray, for the sirius boys hurray (woo!)

[verse 6]
the sirius was a n0ble ship, she sailed the ocean wide
she steamed from passage to new york
and then she steamed on home to cork
she was the first to make that trip
the sirius was a famous ship
she sailed the ocean wide
