Oh, a drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm,
And a drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm,
And a drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm,
And we’ll all hang on behind.
Come on and roll the old chariot along,
We’ll roll the old chariot along,
And we’ll roll the old chariot along,
And we’ll all hang on behind!
Oh, a bottle of rum wouldn’t do us any harm,
And a bottle of rum wouldn’t do us any harm,
And a bottle of rum wouldn’t do us any harm,
And we’ll all hang on behind.
Come on and roll the old chariot along,
We’ll roll the old chariot along,
And we’ll roll the old chariot along,
And we’ll all hang on behind!
Oh, a drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm,
And a drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm,
And a drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm,
And we’ll all hang on behind.
Come on and roll the old chariot along,
We’ll roll the old chariot along,
And we’ll roll the old chariot along,
And we’ll all hang on behind!
