GOOD BYE FARE YE WELL

It's of a flash Packet, a Packet I've seen--
Good bye fare ye well - Good bye fare ye well.
She's a hearty flash packet - the Dreadnaught's her name -
Hurrah me boys, we're bound to go

She sails to the westward where stormy winds blow
Good bye, &c.
Bound away in the Dreadnaught to the westward we'll ho
Hurrah me boys, &c.

It's now we are hauling right out of the dock
Wher the boys and the girls on the pierhead do flock

They give three loud cheers while the tears downward flow
Bound away in the Dreadnaught, to the westward we'll go-

Oh now we are lying in the River Mersey
Waiting for the tug boat to take us to sea

She tows us round the black rocks where Mersey does flow
Bound away in the Dreadnaught, to the westward we'll go

It's now we are sailing on the wild Irish shore
Our passengers all sick - and our new mates all sore

The crew fore and aft - all round to and fro
Bound away in the Dreadnaught, to the westward we'll go

Oh it's now we've arrived on the banks of Newfoundland
Wher the water is green and the bottom is sand

Where the fish of the ocean swim round to and fro
Bound away in the Dreadnaught, to the westward we'll go

Now we are running down Long Island Shore
Where the Pilot does 'board' us as he's oft done before

Then back your main top sail - rise your main tack also
Bound away in the Dreadnaught, to the westward we'll go

It's now we've arrived at New York once more
Where I'll see my dear Polly, the girl I adore-

I'll call for strong liquors and merry will be,
Here's a health to the 'Dreadnaught' where'ere she may be

Here's a health to the Captain and all his brave crew
Hree's a health to the 'Dreadnaught' and officers too

And this song was composed when the watch went below
Bound away in the Dreadnaught, to the westward we'll go
