This song is incomplete and needs some more verses:

"Ever Given" Disaster

We was ninety miles from Port Suez,
Forget it I never shall;
What a terrible time we had that morn
On the old Suez Canal, me boys,
On the old Suez Canal!

The wind it was a-rising,
The sand was blowing free;
The pilots on the flying bridge
The bow they could not see;
A hefty gust then struck the ship
And she nosed into the bank;
Her stern swung out the other way
And the “Ever Given” was tanked, me boys,
The “Ever Given” was tanked.

Well, first we tried her full astern
But found it was no go;
Then we tried the bow thrusters
But she never stirred no mo';
Then a salvage tug latched on her stern
And tried to swing her round,
But the hawser bitts ripped off her deck
And she would not leave the ground, me boys,
She would not leave the ground.

The tune, of course, is from "The Erie-e Canal."
