《The Victory》歌词

[00:00:53] I am a youthful lady

[00:00:57] My troubles they are great,

[00:01:01] My tongue is scarcely able

[00:01:06] My grievance to relate;

[00:01:09] Since I have lost my true love,

[00:01:13] That was ever dear to me,

[00:01:18] He＇s gone to plough the ocean,

[00:01:22] On board the Victory.

[00:01:25] And many a pleasant evening,

[00:01:29] My love and I did meet,

[00:01:33] He clasped me round my slender waist,

[00:01:37] And gave me kisses sweet;

[00:01:41] I gave to him my hand and heart,

[00:01:45] And he vowed he＇d marry me,

[00:01:51] But I did not know that my love,

[00:01:55] Would join the Victory.

[00:02:05] Chorus: Mourn, England, mourn and complain;

[00:02:18] For the brave Lord Nelson＇s men,

[00:02:27] That died upon the main.

[00:02:34] My parents could not endure my love,

[00:02:38] Because he was so poor,

[00:02:42] Therefore he never did presume,

[00:02:46] To come within the door;

[00:02:49] But had he been some noble lord,

[00:02:53] Born a man of high degree,

[00:02:57] They＇d ne＇er have sent the lad I love,

[00:03:00] On board the Victory.

[00:03:04] There was thirteen on the press-gang,

[00:03:08] They did my love surround,

[00:03:12] And four of that accursed gang,

[00:03:15] Went bleeding to the ground;

[00:03:19] My love was overpowered,

[00:03:23] Though he fought most manfully,

[00:03:28] They dragged him through the dark, wet streets,

[00:03:32] Towards the Victory.

[00:03:43] Chorus:

[00:03:45] Your ship she lay in harbour,

[00:03:49] Just ready to set sail,

[00:03:50] May Heaven be your guardian, love,

[00:03:55] Till you come home from sea,

[00:03:59] Just like an angel weeping,

[00:04:02] On the rock sighs every day,

[00:04:21] Awaiting for my own true love,

[00:04:49] Returning home from sea;

[00:05:15] It＇s not for gold that glitters,

[00:05:21] Nor silver that will shine,

[00:06:37] If I marry to the man I love,

[00:06:48] I＇ll be happy in my mind.

[00:06:57] Chorus:

[00:06:59] Here＇s success unto the Victory,

[00:07:06] And crew of noble fame,

[00:07:10] And glory to the captain,

[00:07:14] Bold Nelson was his name;

[00:07:18] At the Battle of Trafalgar,

[00:07:21] The Victory cleared the way,

[00:07:42] But my love was slain with Nelson,

[00:08:04] Upon that very day.

[00:08:18] Chorus:
