Our Gallant Ship- Chatham (PA) pre1918 Shoemaker

[My title. From: North Pennsylvania Minstrelsy by Shoemaker; 1919 page 157; this fragment is clearly missing the last line which should be: "And she sank to the bottom of the sea."

[Our Gallant Ship]
100—Fragment given to H. W. S. by John H. Chatham, 1918:

Once around went our gallant ship,
And twice around went she.
Three times around went our gallant ship,
And she sank to the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea.
