ROY NEILL. AKA and see "Dublin Bay (2)." Song Air (6/8 time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Words to this mid-19th century composed song about a couple doomed to be shipwrecked and drowned are printed in Patrick John Kenedy's Universal Irish Song Book (New York, 1863, p. 63). They begin:

They sailed away, in a gallant bark,
Roy Neill and his fair young bride:
He had ventured all in that bounding ark,
That danced o'er the silvery tide.
But his heart was young, and his spirit light
And he dashed the tear away,
As he watched the shore recede from sight,
Of his own Sweet Dublin Bay.
