lyrics

We were forty miles from Albany (and)
Forget it I never shall.
What a terrible storm we had one night
On the E-ri-e Canal.

Blessed savior we pray
Bless this dear one on this day
Keep him ever near to thee
And his life pure and free

We were loaded down with barley
We were chock-full up on rye.
The captain he looked down at me
With his gol-durned wicked eye.

Blessed savior we pray
Bless this dear one on this day
Keep her ever near to thee
And her life pure and free

Two days out from Syracuse
The vessel struck a shoal;
We like to all be foundered
On a chunk o' Lackawanna coal.

Blessed savior we pray
Bless this dear one on this day
Keep them ever near to thee
And their life pure and free

about

The Glorious Shocking image

The Glorious Shocking Rochester, New York

White light contains twelve rays, only seven of which are revealed, just
as the musical octave contains twelve notes only seven of which are
articulated. Likewise, the passions are twelve, but seven are expressed.
