Thread Name: Songs about Nelson or Wellington
Subject: RE: Songs about Nelson or Wellington
As it 'appens, heard a great one at Scanlon's in Brigg last night, sung by Jim Hancock of 'The Roaring Forties', 'The Coleby Ploughjag', 'Clarty Sough' and other incarnations. New to me, can't remember the title but it concerned the return of Nelson's body to England in a cask of brandy - the chorus was something along the lines of "We'll bring him home" or similar. Very plaintive and moving. And well sung.
