LIVERPOOL PACKET

At the Liverpool docks at the break of the day
I saw a flash packet, bound a westward away
She was bound for the west where the wild waters flow
She's a Liverpool Packet oh Lord Let her go....

CHO:
Bound away, bound away
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 deep
A-waiting our tug for to tow us to sea
We'll round the rock light were the wild waters flow
She's a Liverpool Packet oh Lord Let her go....


And now we are sailing thru the wild Irish Sea
Our passengers are merry & their hearts full of glee
Our sailors like tigers do walk to & fro
She's a Liverpool Packet oh Lord let her go.

And now we are off the Banks of Newfoundland
Where the water's all fishes & the bottom's all sand
The fishes they sing as they swim to & fro
She's a Liverpool Packet oh Lord let her go.

And now we're arriving in old New York town
We're bound for the Bowery to let sorrows drown
With our girls & our beer, boys, we'll let the songs flow
She's a Liverpool Packet oh Lord let her go.
