The Seagull's Name Was Nelson [Album : The Collection]
Well a long time ago in '67
A little boy was roaming on the beach
When all of a sudden he heard a plaintive cry
So near yet so far out of reach
He looked behind a rock so tall
And there before his eyes
Was an oiled soaked seagull lying there
Windswept with pain in his eyes
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free
He fed that seagull limpets small
Until that bird could fly
And when he thought it was so,
He let little Nelson go
And he flew above his head up in the sky
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free
Well time had come for the boy to go
Sadness was in their eyes
But it's not for you to criticise
If you've never seen a seagull cry
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free
Nelson the seagull - free
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free
And the seagull's name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagulls....
