There is a flash packet, flash packet of fame, |
| [00:09.750] |
She hails from New York and the Dreadnought's her name, |
| [00:14.393] |
She's bound to the westward where stormy winds blow, |
| [00:20.159] |
Bound away in the Dreadnought, to the westward we'll go. |
| [00:24.808] |
Derry down, down, down derry down. |
| [00:29.986] |
|
| [00:34.426] |
Now, the Dreadnought she lies in the river Mercey, |
| [00:38.773] |
Awaiting the tugboat to take her to sea, |
| [00:43.391] |
Out around the Rock Light where the salt tides do flow, |
| [00:49.069] |
Bound away to the westward, in the Dreadnought we'll go. |
| [00:53.755] |
Derry down, down, down derry down. |
| [00:58.978] |
|
| [01:03.280] |
Now, the Dreadnought's a-howlin' down the wild Irish Sea, |
| [01:07.585] |
Her passengers merry, with hearts full of glee, |
| [01:12.316] |
As sailors like lions walk the decks to and fro, |
| [01:17.824] |
She's the Liverpool packet, O Lord, let her go! |
| [01:22.612] |
Derry down, down, down derry down. |
| [01:27.510] |
|
| [01:32.061] |
Now, the Dreadnought's a-sailin' the Atlantic so wide, |
| [01:36.529] |
Where the high roaring seas roll along her black sides, |
| [01:41.190] |
With her sails tightly set for the Red Cross to show, |
| [01:46.194] |
She's the Liverpool packet, O Lord, let her go! |
| [01:50.671] |
Derry down, down, down derry down. |
| [01:55.501] |
|
| [01:59.978] |
Now, a health to the Dreadnought, and all her brave crew, |
| [02:04.490] |
To bold Captain Samuel, his officers, too, |
| [02:08.970] |
Talk about your flash packets, Swallowtail and Black Ball, |
| [02:14.399] |
The Dreadnaught's the flier that outsails them all. |
| [02:19.154] |
Derry down, down, down derry down. |
| [02:24.408] |
