Was going through the lyrics. It looks like it's slightly different than what I have:
THE NELLIE J. BANKS
Lennie GallantChorus
There's rum in the hold of the Nellie J. Banks
Prince Edward Island bound
Late on a night when the moon shines bright
You can find her off Georgetown
1She left St. Pierre on the tenth of May
Prince Edward Island bound
For the winter's done and there's very little rum
In the harbours and the towns;
And the fishermen watch for the dirty sail
As they trawl on Tracadie Bay,
And they give a great shout when they finally figure out,
Nellie Banks is on her way.
2There's Captain Milligan at the helm,
He comes from Newfoundland
With a bottle of brandy always on the deck,
And an extra case in hand;
He's drunk but he holds a leeward stance,
As he sails the schooner through;
And the government cutters quickly follow astern
When he shows what the Banks can do.
3Well, the government cutters hug the shore,
With a glass upon rum row,
For they know the Nellie Banks is over on the bay
And a runner is sure to show
And Milligan keeps her four miles out
Though the boundary it is three;
But late at night when the cutter's out of sight
She slips into a lee- 4On an August night in the pale moonlight
With the Banks of Short Pt. Shore
A shot rang out and a voice began to shout,
"Heave to, or we'll fire more"
And the morning light saw a terrible sight
As the Banks was pulled away
No more will the NJ Banks run rum
No more will the fishermen say
