the battle of the nile - jerry bryant lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
’twas on the ninth day of august in the year of ninety*eight
we’ll sing the praise of nelson and the bold british fleet
for the victory we have gained over the rebellious crew
and to the mediterranean sea, brave boys, we’ll bid adieu

[chorus]
so come, you british tars, let your hands and hearts agree
to protect the lives and liberties of the mother country

[verse 2]
at four o’clock that evening he brought that fleet in sight
and like undaunted hеroes we werе eager for the fight
they were lying at an anchor near the egyptian shore
superior to the british fleet, and to take us they made sure

[chorus]
so come, you british tars, let your hands and hearts agree
to protect the lives and liberties of the mother country

[verse 3]
our n0ble captain he was slain soon after we began
brave cuthbert in succession he boldly took command
for four full hours that evening we engaged them on the main
and early the next morning we renewed the fight again
[chorus]
so come, you british tars, let your hands and hearts agree
to protect the lives and liberties of the mother country

[verse 4]
full fifty seamen we had slain, which grieved our hearts full sore
two hundred more were wounded, lay bleeding in their gore
but early the next morning most glorious to see
our british ships of war, brave boys, were crowned with victory

[chorus]
so come, you british tars, let your hands and hearts agree
to protect the lives and liberties of the mother country

[verse 5]
and now the fight is over and we have gained the day
nine sails we took and four we burnt, the rest they ran away
but when we come hole to england, so loudly we will sing:
“success to our majestic, boys, and long live george the king!”

[chorus]
so come, you british tars, let your hands and hearts agree
to protect the lives and liberties of the mother country
so come, you british tars, let your hands and hearts agree
to protect the lives and liberties of the mother country
