New edition. -- This is the score for one of Henry Russell's most popular songs, and when performing it " . he always prefaced it by telling the story of its origin. A mother was on an Atlantic liner when her child fell overboard. A Newfoundland dog saw the child, and immediately sprang in after it. The dog kept the child afloat until both were rescued." (Peter Maniate. "Song from the Victorian Era." Hannibal Kennels Articles, Hannibal Kennels, 15 Aug. 2011. Web. 9 Sept. 2015) "Composed and sung with enthusiatic applause by Henry Russell". -- For medium voice and piano; English words.
