CYRIL DUNCAN Hawthorne Qld Recorded
Trafalgar BayIt was in Trafalgar Bay we saw the foeman layEach heart was boundless then We scorn the foreign yoke For our ships were British oak Our hearts of oak our men How Nelson marked them on their weary Three cheers our gallant seamen gave No thought of home nor beauty No thought of home or beauty Along the line our signal ran England expects – that every man this day Shall do his duty Next verse added by correspondence At last the fatal wound That spread dismay around The heroes' breast received Her fight upon our side The day's our own he cried And long enough I've lived I honour caused my life was passed In honour caused I die at last For England home and beauty England confessed that every man This day had done his duty. |
