The music to this song isn't much. The words are great! The song's about a sailing schooner in a blinding snowstorm being driven toward a cliff. Here's a sample verse:
The combers beat her under and we thought she ne'er would rise
And her mainboom was bending neigh in two
With our lee rails two feet under and three hands at the wheel

The combers beat her under and we thought she ne'er would rise
And her mainboom was bending neigh in two
With our lee rails two feet under and three hands at the wheel
Sure, we hauled her from the rocks of Baccalieu
Stan Rogers does a great cover of this song.
