The Dreadnought-Barbara Dickson

[00:00.023] [00:03.307] [00:08.128] There's a saucy wild packet, and a packet of fame [00:11.946] She belongs to New York, [00:13.790] and the Dreadnought's her name [00:16.307] She is bound to the westward where the stormy winds blow [00:20.909] Bound away into the westward, [00:22.856] in the Dreadnought we'll go [00:25.098] Derry down, down, down derry down. [00:30.839] Lovely~ [00:30.927] [00:31.236] Now the time of her sailing is now drawing nigh [00:35.634] Farewell, pretty May, I must bid you goodbye [00:39.514] I'm farewell to old England and all there we hold dear [00:44.502] Bound away into the westward, [00:46.484] in the Dreadnought we'll steer [00:48.680] Derry down, down, down derry down. [00:53.071] [00:53.434] [00:53.964] And the Dreadnought is pulling out of Waterloo Dock, [00:57.819] Where the boys and the girls to the pierheads do flock; [01:02.038] And they will give us three cheers while their tears do flow, [01:06.845] Saying, "God bless the Dreadnought, where'er she may go!" [01:10.994] Derry down, down, down derry down. [01:15.667] [01:16.022] And the Dreadnought' is bowlin' down the wild Irish Sea [01:20.248] Her passengers are merry, their hearts full of glee [01:24.445] While her sailors like lions walk the decks to and fro [01:29.063] She's a Liverpool packet, oh, Lord, let her go [01:33.186] Derry down, down, down derry down. [01:37.534] [01:38.002] [01:38.317] And the Dreadnought is a-crossing the Atlantic so wide [01:42.156] While the dark, heavy seas roll along her black sides [01:46.247] With her sails neatly spread, and the Red Cross to show [01:50.814] She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord, let her go [01:54.926] Derry down, down, down derry down. [01:59.362] [02:00.047] And it's a health to the Dreadnought, and to all her brave crew [02:04.522] To bold Captain Samuel and his officers too [02:08.574] Talk about your flash packets, Swallow Tail and Black Ball [02:13.538] Where the dreadnought's the flier that all trips them all [02:17.137] Derry down, down, down derry down. [02:22.161] Derry, down derry down. [02:26.287] Thank you [02:26.631]
