Can't remember the tune, but this was a popular song in the navy.

BOLD NELSON'S PRAISE
(Copied from a collection of naval songs by Cecil J. Sharp - in the book it says By permission of Novello & Co. Ltd)

Bold Nelson's praise I'm going to sing
(not forgetting our glorious King)
He always did good tidings bring
For he was a bold commander
There was Sydney Smith and Duncan too
Lord Howe and all the glorious crew
They were the men that were true blue
Full of care
Yet I swear
None with Nelson could compare
Not even Alexander


Bold Bonaparte he threaten'd war
A man who fear'd not wound nor scar
But still he lost at Trafalgar
Where britain was victorious
Lord Nelson's actions made him quake
And all French powers he made to shake
He said his King he'd ne'er forsake
These last words
Thus he spake
Stand true my lads like hearts of oak
And the battle shall be glorious


Lord nelson bold though threaten'd wide
And many a time he had been tried
He fought like a hero till he died
Amid the battle gory
But the day was won their line was broke
While all around was lost in smoke
And Nelson he got his death-stroke
That's the man
for old England!
He faced his foe with his sword in hand
And he lived and he died in his glory
