The Ballad of the Good Lord Nelson

The song is a traditional sea shanty about the famous British naval commander, Lord Nelson. It tells the story of his ship, the Victory, and his various exploits at sea. The song mentions his glass, which he used to look through his blind eye when he didn't want to see something, his fleet, his sword, his gun, and his voice, which he used to shout at the Frenchmen he encountered on the sea. The song ends with a repetition of the first verse, emphasizing the importance of the Victory and its role in Lord Nelson's naval career.
