Catalpa Rescue - in Song

In Song

So come all you screw warders and jailers
Remember Perth regatta day
Take care of the rest of your Fenians
Or the Yankees will steal them away.

the real mckenzies

On the seventeenth of April last the Stars and Stripes did fly
On board the bark Catalpa, waving proudly to the sky;
She showed the green above the red as she did calmly lay
Prepared to take the Fenian boys in safety o'er the sea.

    back
    to the lake of Delos;
    lest all the song notes
    pause and break
    across a blood-stained throat....”

    Covered with embroideries
    Out of old mythologies”
