[C] And we [G] courage brave, [C] we ploughed the wave, home down [D] for new [G] found land.
Oh our captain's [C] name was Nelson, [G] just twenty years of age.
As true, as brave, [D] the [G] sailor lad has ever ploughed [D] the wave.
[D] [G] The evil in [D] our break [G] was called, belonging to [D] the clay.
[C] And we courage brave, we ploughed the wave, [G] home down [D] for new [G] found land.
When three days [C] out to our surprise, [G] our captain [D] he [G] fell sick.

Oh at three o'clock [C] we sighted a light [G] that we were glad to see.
The smallpox [D] had been [G] raging, that's what it proved [D] to be.
[G] At four o'clock in the afternoon, as sure as God's [D] karma,
Oh [C] he [G] passed away [C] in a rishat, [Em] bound down [D] for new [G] found land.
All that night [C] long we did lament, [G] for our [D] departed [G] friend.
And we were praying [D] unto [G] God, for what had been [D] his end.
[G] We prayed that God [D] would [G] guide us, and keep us by [D] his hand.
[C] And send [G] us fair wind while at sea, [G] home down [D] for new [G] found land.
