Here's a test. Is it looking like it should, Gary?

BALTIMORE FIRE
Traditional
It was on a silver falls by a narrow
That I heard the cry I ever will remember,
The fire sent and cast its burning embers
On another fated city of our land.
CHO:
Fire, Fire, I heard the cry
From every breeze that passes by,
All the world was one sad cry of pity
Strong men in anguish prayed,
Calling loud to the Heavens for aid,
While the fire in ruin was laying
Fair Baltimore, the beautiful city
Amid-an-awful-struggle of commotion,
The-wind blew-a-gale from the ocean,
Brave firemen struggled with devotion,
But their efforts all proved in vain.
The awful news did spread across the wire
Of another sad catastrophe so dire,
That Baltimore City is afire,
And sinking 'neath the foe's relentless hand.
