It was the steamer Islander that sailed
down to the sea,
Tho skipper had taken all he could TO
bear him company;
Blue was the water, as blue could be.
~ and bright was the summer sky,
A goodly crowd went sailing on the 4th
of this July.
It was the steamer Islander that sailed
back from the sea,
The skipper brought back all he could
to bear him company:
Upon the wharves full thousands stood
and raved and tore their hair,
The Islander came sailing home and
left them standing there.
It's oft the steamer Islander may sail
unto the sea,
And oft the shippers many fyiends may

But since that day the things I've said
