Along time ago in fifty seven
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 a pure white seagull lying there
With sweat, with pain in it's eyes

And the seagulls name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagulls name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free

He fed that seagull, limp and small
Until that bird could fly
And when he thought it was so he let good Nelson go
And he flew above his head up in the sky

And the seagulls name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagulls name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free

Now time has gone and the boy grew old
And sadness was in there land
But it's not for you to crticise
If you've never seen a seagull fly

And the seagulls name was Nelson (Yes it was)
Nelson who came from the sea (Yeah)
And the seagulls name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free (Yeah)

And the seagulls name was Nelson (Oh Yeah)
Nelson who came from the sea (everyone)
And the seagulls name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free

And the seagulls name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagulls name was Nelson
Nelson the seagull free

And the seagulls name was Nelson
Nelson who came from the sea
And the seagulls name was Nelson.......
