_ At Brown [F] House Bay on that Christmas Eve _
Was such a raging _ storm no man could speak
And that light moved under through an angry sea _
Stood Solomon Brown [C] on the _ company
_ [F] _
_ _ _ But courage it was cold _ _
_ _ [C] _ Like eagles breathing _ _ [F] bones
_ But _ courage it was cold at that _ night
_ _ Now this stricken conster called [C] the [F] Union Star _
A maiden voyage she never thought got far
With Captain _ Monson and [C] his four [Dm]-man crew
A [F] woman to _ save [C] and a [F] daughter's two
_ And they never [C] had a lifeboat far to [F] bring
_ She couldn't [Bb] lead a dash before [F] they tried again
_ All six kings perished in [C] that [Dm] mighty wave
They tossed [Bb] them overboard [C] into [F] watery grave _ _
_ _ But courage it was cold _ _
Like [C] _ _ eagles breathing _ [F] bones _ _
_ [Bb] But courage it was [F] cold upon that _ night
_ The black pen [C] point, the time stood [F] _ still
The twelve young [C] children cried for their [F] father's kill
_ And they should [C] shed tears for years as the news [Dm] went round
The [Bb] constant courage [C] of our Solomon _ [F] Brown _
_ [Bb] _ But courage it was [F] _ cold _
Like [C] _ _ _ eagles breathing [F] bones _ _
_ But courage it was cold upon _ that _ night
