Subject: RE: Ellen Vannin
You mean this? I remember this one, sung by an Irish band called "Oisin"..... a few words:

Snaefall, Tynwald, Ben MacCree, 40 ships are on the sea. Each one baring a manx name, but there is one, will never sail again. OH ELLEN VA-AN-AN-NIN, OF THE ISLE OF MAN COMPANY, OH ELLEN VA-AN-AN-NIN, LOST IN THE IRISH SEA.

If interested, I can write down the whole text, but must look for it (anywhere in my textbooks)
