Steeleye Span The Victory lyrics

I am a youthful lady
My troubles they are great
My tongue is scarcely able
My grievance to relate
Since I have lost my true love
That was ever dear to me
He's gone to plough the ocean
On board the Victory

And many a pleasant evenings
My love and I did meet
He clasped me round my slender waist
And gave me kisses sweet
I gave to him my hand and heart
And he vowed he'd marry me
But I did not know that my love
Would join the Victory

Chorus:
Mourn, England, mourn and complain
For the brave Lord Nelson's men
That died upon the main
My parents could not endure my love
Because he was so poor
Therefore he never did presume
To come within the door
But had he been some noble lord
Born a man of high degree
They'd ne'er have sent the lad I love
On board the Victory

There was thirteen on the press-gang
They did my love surround
And four of that accursed gang
Went bleeding to the ground
My love was overpowered
Though he fought most manfully
They dragged him through the dark, wet streets
Towards the Victory

Chorus

Your ship she lay in harbour
Just ready to set sail
May Heaven be your guardian, love
Till you come home from sea

Just like an angel weeping
On the rock sighs every day
Awaiting for my own true love
Returning home from sea

It's not for gold that glitters
Nor silver that will shine
If I marry to the man I love
I'll be happy in my mind

Chorus

Here's success unto the Victory
And crew of noble fame
And glory to the captain
Bold Nelson was his name
At the Battle of Trafalgar
The Victory cleared the way
But my love was slain with Nelson
Upon that very day

Chorus
