They sailed away on that gallant barque,
Roy Neal and his fair young bride
They had ventured all on that bounding ship
That danced on the silvery tide
And his heart was young, and his spirit light
As he kissed her tears away
And they watched the shore retreat from sight
Of their own sweet Dublin Bay
Three days they sailed when the storm arose
And the lightning swept the deep,
When the thunder crash broke the short repose
Of the weary sailors' sleep
Roy Neal, he clasped his weeping bride
And he kissed the tears away
"Oh, love, 'twas a fearful hour," he cried,
"When we left sweet Dublin Bay!"
On the crowded deck of that doomed ship
Some fell in their deep despair
And some, o'ercome with a holier heart,
Sought the God of the storm in prayer
"She has struck a rock," the sailors cried
In their breath of wild dismay
And that ship went down with the fair young bride
That sailed from Dublin Bay
They sailed away in that gallant barque,
Roy Neal and his fair young bride
They had ventured all on that bounding ship
That danced on the silvery tide
But his heart was young, and his spirit light
As he kissed her tears away
And they watched the shore retreat from sight
Of their own sweet Dublin Bay
Silly Wizard were a Scottish folk band formed in Edinburgh in July 1972. The founding members were two like-minded students—Gordon Jones (guitar, bodhran, vocals, bouzouki, mandola) and Bob Thomas (guitar, mandolin, mandola, banjo, concertina)—along with Chris Pritchard (vocals). In September 1972, the youthful Johnny Cunningham (fiddle, viola, mandola, vocals), still a school student at the time, joined the group. In September 1972, the band took over the running and performed at the Triangle Folk Club until March 1974. In February 1973, Chris Pritchard left the band and was replaced by Madelaine Taylor (guitar, bodhran, vocals). In October 1973, the band signed with Transatlantic Records XTRA label. The album was recorded but before its release, Madelaine Taylor left the band in December 1973. The master tapes were subsequently lost and the album has never been released. Despite these early difficulties, Silly Wizard continued to perform and record music until the late 1980s. Their musical style was characterized by a blend of traditional Scottish folk music and contemporary influences, with complex arrangements and instrumental virtuosity.
