In: Ballad [Edit categories]

Answer:

A noble whale ship and commander was called the Catalpa, they say
Came out to Western Australia and took six poor Fenians away
So come all you screw warders and jailers, remember Perth Regatta Day
Take care of the rest of your Fenians, or the Yankees will steal them away
