At fair Mounts Bay on that Christmas week Such a raging storm no man could speak A lifeboat thundered through an angry sea Called Solomon Browne and her company Good courage it was called On our heroes brave and bold Good courage it was called upon that night Now this stricken coaster called the Union Star Her maiden voyage she never thought that far With Captain Morton and his four man crew A woman to save and her daughters two Never had a lifeboat fought in vain She could have made a dash for port but they tried again All sixteen perished in that mighty wave It tossed them overboard into a watery grave Good courage it was called On our heroes brave and bold Good courage it was called upon that night Back at Penlee Point time stood still For twelve young children cried for their fathers killed A nation shed tears for years as the news went around Of the constant courage of Solomon Browne Good courage it was called On our heroes brave and bold Good courage it was called upon that night Good courage it was called On our heroes brave and bold Good courage it was called upon that night
