Bound Down for Newfoundland

Song: on a ship bound for Newfoundland the singer's captain becomes ill. The captain, Nelson, is twenty years old, brave, and true. His illness transpires; it is smallpox, and the captain dies. The crew laments all night. They pray to God, who sends a gale to take them to Newfoundland.
