W:
W:1 Bold Nelson's praise I'm going to sing, (not forgetting our glorious King),
W:He always did good tidings bring, for he was a bold commander.
W:There was Sydney Smith and Duncan too, Lord Howe and all the glorious crew;
W:They were the men who were true blue, full of care, yet I swear
W:None with Nelson could compare, not even Alexander.
W:
W:2 Bold Buonaparte he threaten'd war, a man who fear'd not wound nor scar,
W:But still he lost at Trafalgar where Britain was victorious.
W:Lord Nelson's actions made him quake, and all French pow'rs he made to shake;
W:He said his king he'd ne'er forsake. these last words thus he spake:
W:Stand true, my lads, like hearts of oak, and the battle shall be glorious.
W:
W:3 Lord Nelson bold, though threatened wide, and many a time he had been tried,
W:He fought like a hero till he died amid the battle gory.
W:But the day was won, their line was broke, while all around was lost in smoke,
W:And Nelson he got his death stroke, that's the man for England!
W:He faced his foe with his sword in hand and he lived and he died in his glory.

W:NOTE
W:
W:This is the only version of this song that I know. The singer mixed his words in all
W:the verses except the first one, necessitating a certain amount of rearrangement.
W:The air is in the Dorian mode, and is a variant of "Princess Royal," a well-known
W:Morris-Jig tune. Shield adapted the air to the words of "The Saucy Arethusa," one
W:of the songs in the ballad-opera 'The Lock and Key' (1796). The composition of the
W:air has sometimes been attributed to Carolan. The tune is also printed in Walsh's
W:'Compleat Dancing Master' (circa 1730), under the title "Princess Royal: the new way."
