We are one, two, three jolly lads
All in one line
We have come a-paceeging
And I hope you prove kind
And I hope you prove kind
With your eggs and strong beer
We'll come no longer by you
Until the next year
The next that comes in
It is Nelson, you'll see
With a bunch of blue ribbons
Tied down to his knee
And a star on his chest
Like silver does shine
And I hope you'll remember
It's paceeging time
The next that comes in
It is jolly Jack Tarr
He sailed with Lord Nelson
During the last war
He has come from the sea
Old England to view
And he's come a-paceeging
With our jovial crew
Oh, the next that comes in
It is Lord Collingwood
He fought with Lord Nelson
Till he shed his blood
He fought with Lord Nelson
Through sorrow and woe
And I hope you'll reward him
Before you do go
And in comes old Miser
With all his brown bags
For fear of his money
He wears his old rags
So see what you do
And mind the toll's right
If we get naught we'll take naught
Farewell and goodnight
We are one, two, three jolly lads
All in one line
We have come a-paceeging
And I hope you prove kind
And I hope you prove kind
With your eggs and strong beer
We'll come no longer by you
Until the next year
And I hope you prove kind
With your eggs and strong beer
We'll come no longer by you
Until the next year
