Goodbye, Fare Thee Well

[Verse 1]
It’s of a flash packet, a packet I’ve seen
Goodbye, fare thee well, goodbye, fare thee well
She’s a hardy flash packet, The Dreadnaught’s her name!
Hurrah, me boys, we’re bound to go

[Verse 2]
She sails to the westward, where stormy winds blow
Goodbye, fare thee well, goodbye, fare thee well
Bound away in The Dreadnaught, to the westward we’ll go
Hurrah, me boys, we’re bound to go

[Verse 3]
It’s now we are hauling, right out of the dock
Goodbye, fare thee well, goodbye, fare thee well
Where the boys and girls on the pier head do flock
Hurrah, me boys, we’re bound to go

[Verse 4]
They give three loud cheers, while the tears downward flow
Goodbye, fare thee well, goodbye, fare thee well
Bound away in The Dreadnaught to westward we’ll go
Hurrah, me boys, we’re bound to go
