With any foreign nation,
We fear not wound nor scar:
Our roaring guns shall teach them,
Our valour for to know,
Whilst they reel on their keel,
When the stormy winds do blow.
When the stormy winds, &c."
Then courage all brave mariners,
And never be dismayed,
Whilst we have bold adventurers,
We ne'er shall want a trade.
Our merchants will employ us,
To bring them gold, we know,
Then be bold, work for gold,
When the stormy winds do blow.
When the stormy winds, &c.
Then here's a health to Nelson
And to his gallant tars:
Long may these British heroes bold,
Despise both wounds and scars.
Make France and Spain, and Holland,
And all their foes to know,
Britain reigns o'er the main,
When the stormy winds do blow.
When the stormy winds, &c.
