Liverpool Packet -- Loc Tup Together

?????????????????????????????????????
I saw a flash packet, bound westward away
She was bound for the westward where the wild waters flow
She's a Liverpool packet, oh lord let her go

CHO:
Bound away oh, bound away oh
Through the ice, sleet and snow.
She's a Liverpool packet,
Oh Lord, let her go.

And now we re leaving the sweet salthouse dock
All the boys and the girls to the pierhead do flock
All the boys and the girls they all shout or roar
She's a Liverpool packet, Oh Lord, let her go.

And now we are waiting in the Mersey so free
Awaiting the tug for to take us to sea
Then we'll round the rock light, where the salt tides do blow
She's a Liverpool packet, Oh Lord, let her go.

She ??????? main topsail ??????? jib sheet
She ??????? fore and aft boys you'll get no damn sleep
Come out boys God damn yers, come out one and all
For over your head lies a bonny black ball

And now we are sailing the Atlantic so wide
That the hands are all ordered to scrub the ship's side
Then he told his ????????????????????????
For kicking Jack Williams, commands this Black Ball

And now we are arriving in old New York town
And we'll head for the bowery and let sorrows drown
With the girls and the beer boys, we'll let the salts blow
She's a Liverpool packet, Oh Lord, let her go.
