Thread Name: Any August Songs?
Subject: RE: Any August Songs?
From Boxing the Compass by Roy Palmer; THE SECOND OF AUGUST

A New Song composed by the wounded Tars at the Siege of Boulogne

On the second of August, eighteen hundred and one,
As we sailed with Lord Nelson to the port of Boulogne
For to cut out some shipping, which prov-ed in vain
To our misfortune they were all moored with chain.

Printed by J. Kendrew, Colliergate, York
