I'm in need of the last 5 verses to the "Wreck of the Asia", a song of Newfoundalnd Outports...

"Loud roared the dreadful tumult
and stormy was the day
When Asia left her harbour
to cross the Georgian Bay.
One hundred souls she had on board
Like wisw a costly store
And on that trip this gallent ship
she sank to rise no more....

??????????????????????????????????

The song is about the Great Lakes region, not the Newfoundland outports.

Thankee, Sorch... Actually, the song is fir the P-Vine for one of her music classes and since she never misses an opportunity to re-inform me that playin' on the pudder is a waste of time, maybe I'll get a couple days off with out the chin music...

There is also a (fairly similar) version in Windjammers - Songs of the Great Lakes Sailors (Walton & Grimm).

Should have added: under the title of The Foundering of the Asia.
