The song is "Storm King" by Richard W. Wilkie, c 1967.
It appears on p. 37 of "Songs and Sketches of the first Clearwater Crew," compiled by Don McLean.

I used to draw near 15 feet,
I was 90 on the water line.
My engines made of brass and iron,
My timbers oak and pine.

Cho: But they left me here to die,
They left me here to die,
They broke my back a- haulin' freight
And they left me here to die.

No fancy ladies walked my deck,
Nor gamblers on the fly,
But horses sheep and cattle
For the farming men to buy.

Cho:

Coxsackie was the Northern Prt,
New york the Southern run.
Agains the tide I could make 10 knots,
But with it 21.

Cho:

All the miles I work and sailed along that Hudson line
Ended when they hauled me out in 1929.
But maybe down that valley where the blue haze dims the sky
Some one remembers Storm King when she was passing by.

Cho: Yes, they...

I have been out of contact with Wilkie for several years. He was a faculty member at SUNY Albany and contributed several books to Hudson river lore.

If you PM me a snail mail address, I will be happy to xerox the page and mail it to you.
