| Snaefell, Tynwald, Ben My Chree
|
| Fourteen ships had sailed the sea
|
| Proudly bearing a Manx name
|
| But there’s one will never again
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, of the Isle of Man Company
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, lost in the Irish Sea
|
| At one a.m. in Ramsey bay
|
| Captain Teare was heard to say
|
| «Our contract said deliver the mail
|
| In this rough weather we must not fail»
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, of the Isle of Man Company
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, lost in the Irish Sea
|
| Ocean liners sheltered from the storm
|
| Ellan Vannin on the wave was borne
|
| Her hold was full and battened down
|
| As she sailed towards far Liverpool Town
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, of the Isle of Man Company
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, lost in the Irish Sea
|
| With a crew of twenty-one Manxmen
|
| Her passengers Liverpool businessmen
|
| Farewell Mona’s Isle farewell
|
| This little ship was bound for hell
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, of the Isle of Man Company
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, lost in the Irish Sea
|
| Less than a mile from the Bar lightship
|
| By a mighty wave Ellan Vannin was hit
|
| She sank in the waters of Liverpool Bay
|
| There she lies until this day
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, of the Isle of Man Company
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, lost in the Irish Sea
|
| Few Manxmen now remember
|
| The third day of the month December
|
| The terrible storm in Nineteen-nine
|
| Ellan Vannin sailed for the very last time
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, of the Isle of Man Company
|
| Oh Ellan Vannin, lost in the Irish Sea |
