Roll the old chariot

Dit lied gaat over de Engelse admiraal Lord Nelson, nadat hij bij
Trafalgar was gesneuveld. Om zijn lichaam goed te houden werd
hij in een vat rum naar Engeland vervoerd. De matrozen boorden
stiekum een gaatje in het vat om bij die kostbare vloeistof te
komen en ze noemden dat vocht: a drop of Nelson’s blood....
Well a drop of Nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm
Yes a drop of Nelson's blood
wouldn't do us any harm
A drop of Nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm
And we'll all hang on behind
Refrein:
And we'll roll the old chariot along
We'll roll the old chariot along
We'll roll the old chariot along
And we'll all hang on behind
And a plate of Irish stew wouldn't do us any harm
Yes a plate of Irish stew
wouldn't do us any harm
A plate of Irish stew wouldn't do us any harm
And we'll all hang on behind
Refrein:
And a nice plum duff wouldn't do us any harm
Yes a nice plum duff wouldn't do us any harm
A nice plum duff wouldn't do us any harm
And we'll all hang on behind
