The Black Ball Line
(Traditional)

I served me time on the Black Ball line
To me way-aye-aye, hurray-ah
In the Black Ball line I served my time
Hurrah for the Black Ball Line

The Black Ball Ships are good and true
They are the ships for me and you

For once there was a Black Ball Ship
That fourteen knots an hour could clip

They'll carry you along through frost and snow
And take you where the wind don't blow

You will surely find a rich gold mine
Just take a trip in the Black Ball Line

Just take a trip to Liverpool
To Liverpool, that Yankee school

And now we're bound for New York Town
It's there we'll drink, and sorrow drown
