The Seagulls Name Was Nelson

Verso 1: long time ago in sixty seven A little boy was running 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 oil 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 Verso 2: He fed that seagull limpets small Until the 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 Verso 3: The time had come for the boy to go And 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
