The Dreadnought lyrics

Oh, 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 west Where the stormy winds blow All away to the westward In the dreadnought we'll go Derry down, down, down derry down With the gale at her back What a sight does she make A skippin' so merry With the west in her wake Her sailors like lions On the jacks to and fro She's the liverpool packet Oh, lord let her go! Derry down, down, down derry down Now the dreadnought's a-sailing The atlantic so wide While the high roaring seas Move along her black sides With her sails tight as wires And the black flag to show All away to the dreadnought To the westward we'll go Derry down, down, down derry down Here's a health to the dreadnought And all her brave crew To bold captain (Willy!) And his officers too Talk about your flash packets Swallowtail, black ball The dreadnought's the flyer That out sails them all! Derry down, down, down derry down
