Текст песни The Dreadnought (The Dreadnoughts) с переводом

Oh, there is a flash packet

Flash packet of fame

She hails from New York

And the Dreadnought’s her name

She’s bound to the west

Where the stormy winds blow

All away to the westward

In the Dreadnought we’ll go

Derry down, down, down derry down

With the gale at her back

What a sight does she make

A skippin' so merry

With the west in her wake

Her sailors like lions

On the jacks to and fro

She’s the Liverpool packet

Oh, Lord let her go!

Derry down, down, down derry down

Now the Dreadnought’s a-sailing

The Atlantic so wide

While the high roaring seas

Move along her black sides

With her sails tight as wires

And the Black Flag to show

All away to the Dreadnought

To the westward we’ll go

Derry down, down, down derry down

Here’s a health to the Dreadnought

And all her brave crew

To bold captain

(Willy!)

And his officers too

Talk about your flash packets

Swallowtail, Black Ball

The Dreadnought’s the flyer

That out sails them all!

Derry down, down, down derry down
