The Dreadnaught:

Its 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.

The Dreadnaught is hauling out of Waterloo Dock
And the boys and the girls to the pier head do flock.
They give us three cheers as their tears down do flow.
She's the Liverpool packet. Oh Lord, let her go!
Derry down, down, down derry down.

The Dreadnaught is lying in the River Mersey,
Waiting for the Independence to tow her to sea
Out round the Rock Lighthouse where the salt tides do flow.
Bound away in the Dreadnaught to the westward we'll go!
Derry down, down, down derry down.

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!
Derry down, down, down derry down.

And now we're arriving in old New York town.
We're bound for the Bowery and let sorrows do drown.
With our gals and our beer, boys, oh let the song flow.
And drink to the Dreadnaught where'er she may go!
Derry down, down, down derry down.

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 Dreadnaught’s the flyer that can outsail them all!
Derry down, down, down derry down
Derry down, down, down derry down
Derry down, down, down derry down
