The Dreadnought

歌詞

There is a flash packet, flash packet of fame She hails from New York and the Dreadnought's her name She's bound to the westward where stormy winds blow Bound away in the Dreadnought, to the westward we'll go Derry down, down, down derry down Now, the Dreadnought she lies in the river Mercey Awaiting the tugboat to take her to sea Out around the Rock Light where the salt tides do flow Bound away to the westward, in the Dreadnought we'll go Derry down, down, down derry down Now, the Dreadnought's a-howlin' down the wild Irish Sea Her passengers merry, with hearts full of glee As sailors like lions walk the decks to and fro She's the Liverpool packet, O Lord, let her go! Derry down, down, down derry down Now, the Dreadnought's a-sailin' the Atlantic so wide Where the high roaring seas roll along her black sides With her sails tightly set for the Red Cross to show She's the Liverpool packet, O Lord, let her go! Derry down, down, down derry down Now, a health to the Dreadnought, and all her brave crew To bold Captain Samuel, his officers, too Talk about your flash packets, Swallowtail and Black Ball The Dreadnaught's the flier that outsails them all Derry down, down, down derry down
