Текст песни The Victory - Steeleye Span
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
evening,
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.
