lt's of a flash packet, a packet of fame,
She hails from New York and the
Dreadnaught's her name.
'Cross the wild Western ocean, she's bound for to go.
She's the
Liverpool packet. Oh Lord, let her go!
Derry down, down, down derry down.
Now
the Dreadnaught is hauling out of Waterloo Doek
And the boys and the girls to the pierhead do
flock.
They give us three cheers as their tears down do flow.
She's the Liverpool packet.
Oh Lord, let her go!
Now the Dreadnaught is lying in the River Mersey,
'Waiting the
Independerce to tow her to sea
Out 'round the Rock Light where them salt tides do
flow.
Bound away in the Dreadnaught to the westward we'll go!
Now the Dreadnaught's
a-howling down the wild lrish Sea,
Her passengers merry and with their hearts full of
glee.
Her sailors like lions walk the decks to and fro.
She's the Liverpool packet. Oh
Lord, let her go !
Now the Dreadnaught is sailing the Atlantic so wide,
Where the
high roaring seas roll along her black side.
With her sails taughtly set for the Red Cross to
show ,
She's the Liverpool packet. Oh Lord, let her go!
Now the Dreadnaught is
crossing the Banks of Newfoundland.
Where the water's so green and the bottom's all
sand.
The fishes of the ocean they swim to and fro,
She's the Liverpool packet. Oh Lord,
let her go!
And now she is lying off the Long Island Shore
Where the pilot will board us
as he's oft done before.
Fill away your main topsail! Board your main tack also.
She's the
Liverpool paeket. Oh Lord, let her go !
And now we're arriving in old New York
town.
We're bound for the Bowery and let sorrows drown.
With our gals and our beer, boys,
oh let the song now.
And drink to the Dreadnaught where'er she may go!
Here's a health to
the Dreadnaught and all her brave crew,
To bold Captain Samuels and his officers too.
You
may talk of flash packets, Swallowtail and Black Ball,
But the Dreodnaught's the flyer that can
outsail them all!
Note: According to Hugill, Dreadnaught was THE Liverpool
packet,
delivering mail to Liverpool, rather than hailing from there.
