Coal Hulks of Wellington
C OAL hulks of Wellington riding on the tide; Coal hulks of Wellington anchored side by side; Gone are the olden days you used to ride the swell, Stored are your memories with tales you could tell. Cargoes you have carried, countries you have seen; Conversations held with brig and barquentine ; Lazy tropic languor, and frozen Northern seas, Bustling Continental ports-all leave their memories. Coal hulks of Wellington, the long trick’s done! Kissed by the soft winds and warned by the sun; Sheltered by the harbour’s arms-so tender and so strong--Coal hulks of Wellington, may your rest last long!
