[00:00.343]
[00:00.524] Now there is a flash packet,
[00:02.676]
[00:02.803] flash packet of fame,
[00:05.046]
[00:05.350] She hails from New York and the Dreadnought's her name,
[00:09.525]
[00:09.780] She's bound to the westward where stormy winds blow,
[00:14.911]
[00:15.174] Bound away in the Dreadnought,
[00:17.497]
[00:17.697] to the westward we'll go.
[00:19.904]
[00:20.051] Derry down, down, down derry down.
[00:24.895]
[00:27.067] Now, the Dreadnought she lies in the river Mercey,
[00:31.418]
[00:31.742] Awaiting the tugboat to take her to sea,
[00:35.733]
[00:36.374] Far around the Rock Light where the salty tides do flow,
[00:41.899]
[00:42.271] Bound away to the westward,
[00:44.323]
[00:44.602] in the Dreadnought we'll go.
[00:46.644]
[00:46.995] Derry down, down, down derry down.
[00:52.031]
[00:54.326] Now, the Dreadnought's a-howlin' down the wild Irish Sea,
[00:58.313]
[00:58.661] Her passengers merry, with hearts full of glee,
[01:03.197]
[01:03.542] Her sailors like lions walk the decks to and fro,
[01:09.169]
[01:09.338] She's the Liverpool packet, O Lord, let her go!
[01:13.637]
[01:14.014] Derry down, down, down derry down.
[01:19.097]
[01:21.298] Now, the Dreadnought's a-sailin' the Atlantic so wide,
[01:25.529]
[01:25.855] Where the high roaring seas roll along her black sides,
[01:30.372]
[01:30.500] With her sails tightly set for the Red Cross to show,
[01:35.989]
[01:36.544] She's the Liverpool packet, O Lord, let her go!
[01:40.660]
[01:41.032] Derry down, down, down derry down.
[01:46.053]
[01:48.528] It's a health to the Dreadnought, and all her brave crew,
[01:52.153]
[01:52.524] To bold Captain Samuel, his officers, too,
[01:56.460]
[01:56.837] Talk about your flash packets,
[01:59.339]
[01:59.465] Swallowtail and Black Ball,
[02:02.311]
[02:02.433] The Dreadnaught's the flier that outsails them all.
[02:06.648]
[02:06.825] Derry down, down, down derry down.
[02:12.914]
