kimber's men - death of nelson lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
on the twenty+first of october
before the rising sun
we formed a line for action, boys
at twelve o’clock begun

brave nelson to his men did say
“the lord will prosper us this day
give them the broadside, fire away”

[chorus]
on board a man of war
let him die in peace
god bless you all
on board a man of war
let him die in peace

[verse 2]
from broadside to broadside
our cannonb+lls did fly
like hailstones the small shot
around our deck did lie

our mast and rigging was shot away
besides some thousands on that day
werе k!lled or wounded in the fray
[chorus]
on board a man of war
lеt him die in peace
god bless you all
on board a man of war
let him die in peace

[verse 3]
may heaven reward lord nelson
likewise protect his men
the nineteen sails of the combined fleet
were sunk and taken in

the achille blew up among them all
which made the french for mercy call
nelson was slain by a musket ball

[chorus]
on board a man of war
let him die in peace
god bless you all
on board a man of war
let him die in peace

[verse 4]
there’s many a brave commander
with grief he shook his head
but their grief had no relief
for nelson he lay dead
it was a fatal musket ball
that caused our hero for to fall
that caused our hero for to fall

[chorus]
on board a man of war
let him die in peace
god bless you all
on board a man of war
let him die in peace

[verse 5]
let’s hope this glorious battle
will surely bring us peace
and that our trade in england
will prosper and increase

our ships from port to port go free
may this turn the heart of our enemy
may this turn the heart of our enemy

[chorus]
on board a man of war
let him die in peace
god bless you all
on board a man of war
let him die in peace
god bless you all
on board a man of war
