AmThere is a flash packet, flash packet of fDame;
She hailAms from New York and the DreGadnaught's her Cname;
She's bound to the westward where the stormy winds Gblow
N.C.And awayAm to the westward the Dreadnaught will Ggo;
Derry dAmown, *down, Gdown, derry AMdown.* ( 2nd voice repeat)
AmNow the Dreadnaught she lies in the river MerseyD,
AmAwaiting the tugboat to Gtake her to Csea,
around the Rock Light where the salt tides do flGow;
N.C.And awayAm to the westward the Dreadnaught will gGo;
Derry dAmown, down, Gdown, derrAmy down.
AmNow the Dreadnaught's a-howling down the wild IrisDh Sea,
Her pAmassengers merry with hGearts full of gClee,
AmHer sailors like lions they strut to and fGro;
N.C.She's A AmLiverpool packet, o Lord, lGet her go;
DerrAmy down, down, dGown, derry dAMown.
AmHere's a health to the Dreadnaught and all her brave cDrew,
To bAmold Captain Samuels, his ofGficers, toCo;
And to those she can't carry its not that she's Gsmall
N.C.The DreaAmdnaught's a flier she can't take 'em allG;
