Lyrics:
A noble whale ship and commander Called the Catalpa, they say She sailed into Western Australia And took six poor Fenians away So come all you screw warders and jailers Remember Perth regatta day Take care of the rest of your Fenians Or the Yankees will steal them away You kept them in Western Australia Till their hair it began to turn grey When a Yank from the States of America Came out here and stole them away Now all the Perth boats were a-racing And making short tacks fot the spot But the Yankee she tacked into Fremantle And took the best prize of the lot So come all you screw warders and jailers Remember Perth regatta day Take care of the rest of your Fenians Or the Yankees will steal them away The Georgette armed with bold warriors Went out the poor Yanks to arrest But she hoisted her star-spangled banner Saying you'll not board me I guess So remember those six Fenians colonial And sing o'er these few verses with skill And remember the Yankee that stole them And the home that they left on the hill So come all you screw warders and jailers Remember Perth regatta day Take care of the rest of your Fenians Or the Yankees will steal them away
