about

(Traditional)
"After his death at Trafalgar, HMS Victory returned to England with Nelson's body which was given a state funeral in January 1806. To prevent his body from decaying during the voyage he was placed inside a cask which was then filled with spirits. According to legend, some of this was subsequently tapped and drunk by the sailors, gaining the name of "Nelson's Blood"." - From www.shanty.org.uk

lyrics

A drop of Nelson's Blood wouldn't do us any harm
A drop of Nelson's Blood wouldn't do us any harm
A drop of Nelson's Blood wouldn't do us any harm
& We'll all hang on behind.

& We'll roll the old chariot along
& We'll roll the old chariot along
& We'll roll the old chariot along
& We'll all hang on behind.

A can of Double Brown...

A shot of single malt..

A little bit of loving...

A penthouse suite...

A feed of falafel...
