    WILLIAM JONES

    It was eighteen hundred and eighty three,
    Aboard the HOPE, out on the sea.
    Young William Jones had caught a cold,
    At least that is the story told.

    We got the story from a friend,
    Who was with him at the end.
    It was on a voyage from old Dakar,
    June twenty second he crossed the bar.

    Just a lad of eighteen years,
    Who went to sea in spite of fears.
    And caught a cold on the bounding main,
    'Twas William Jones' claim to fame.

    He is resting now where he called home,
    With his family neath a mossy stone.
    His time at sea came to an end,
    A shipmate lost to a dear old friend.
