It's of a flash packet, flash packet of fame
She hails from New York and the Dreadnought's her name
She's bound for the west where the salt tides do flow
Bound away to the westward in the Dreadnought we'll go
Derry down, down, down derry down
Now the Dreadnought she's sailing the Atlantic so wide
Where the high roaring waves roll along her black sides
Had the sails tautly set for the Red Cross to show
She's a Liverpool packet, oh Lord let her go
Derry down, down, down derry down
Here's a health to the Dreadnought and all her brave crew
To bold Captain Samuels, his officers too
Talk about your flash packets swallеd a tail and black ball
The Dreadnought's thе flyer that outsails them all
Derry down, down, down derry down
