Lyrics
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Bound away ho, bound away ho
Throigh the ice, sleet and snow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
At the Liverpool docks at the break of the day
I saw a flash packet bound westward way
She was bound to the westward, where the wild waters flow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Bound away ho, bound away ho
Through the ice, sleet and snow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
On the ime of her sailing is in now drawing nigh
Stand by all you lovers we'll wish you goodbye
With a pair of clean heels to you now we will show
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Bound away ho, bound away ho
Through the ice, sleet and snow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
And now we're a'leavin' the sweet salthouse docks
All the boys and the girls on the pierhead do flock
All the boys and the girls are shouting hurrah
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Bound away ho, bound away ho
Through the ice sleet and snow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
And now we're a'waiting in the Mersey so free
A'waiting the tug boats to tow us to sea
And we'll the Rock Light, where the salt tides do flow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Bound away ho, bound away ho
Through the ice, sleet and snow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Oh now she's home you're big topsails hold out you deep seas
Oh she's home for the night boys you'll get no damn sleep
Come aft now god damn yours, come aft make a show
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Bound away ho, bound away ho
Through the ive, sleet and snow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
And we're a'sailin' down the wild Irish sea
The passengers are merry, and their hearts full of glee
Our sailors like tigers, they walk to and fro
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Bound away ho, bound away ho
Through the ice, sleet and snow
She's a liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
And now we're a'sailin' the Atlantic so wide
And the hands are now ordered to scrub the ship's side
Now then, holystone boyos, their bosun do blow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Bound away ho, bound away ho
Through the ice, sleet and snow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
And now we're off the banks of Newfoundland
Where the bottom all fishes and fine yello' sand
And the fishes they sing as they swim to and fro
She's a liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Bound away ho, bound away ho
Through the ice, sleet and snow
She's a Loverpool packet, oh Lord let er go
And now we're arrivin' in old New York town
We're bound for the Bowery, and let sorrows drown
Where our girls and our beer, me boys, we'll let the song flow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Bound away ho, bound away ho
Through the ice, sleet and snow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
