Does anyone have the words of "Kitty of Argyll"?

It starts something like this:

'Twas in the year of '75
on March the somethinkth day
Our gallant ship her anchor weighed
And to sea she bore away.

With a turrum adoo a turrum adoo, a turrum adoo a day.
The Kitty of Argyll, me lads, to sea she bore away.

There was Dougal Mor 'n' Donal' Mor,
the captain and the mate
And the captain gave us hullaballoo
for breaking a sgadan plate.

And going round the Brothers' Point
it blowed a terrible blast.
It blowed with such a hurricane
it blowed away the mast.
