At fair Mounts Bay on that Christmas week
Was such a raging storm no man could speak
That lifeboat thundered through an angry sea
Was called Solomon Browne and her company
Good courage it was called
Our heroes brave and bold
Good courage it was called
Upon that night
The stricken coaster called the Union Star
Her maiden voyage she never thought that far
With Captain Moreton and his four man crew
A woman to save and her daughters two
Never had a lifeboat fought in vain
She could have made a dash for port but they tried again
All sixteen perished in that mighty wave
It tossed them overboard into a watery grave
Good courage it was called
Our heroes brave and bold
Good courage it was called
Upon that night
Now back at Penlee Point time stood still
Twelve young children cried for their fathers killed
A nation shed tears for years as the news went round
The constant courage of our Solomon Browne
Good courage it was called
Our heroes brave and bold
Good courage it was called
Upon that night
Good courage it was called
Our heroes brave and bold
Good courage it was called
Upon that night
