I managed to find the lyrics to 'Carrying Nelson Home by Mike O'Connor (link:

(This replaces an earlier link to a version which gave 'Admiral's pouch' instead of 'Admiral's barge' in the last verse)
Ease the bow spring. Gently set the foresheets on the windward side.
Let go fore and aft, and as she turns sail her full and bye to catch the evening tide.
Shake out those topsails. Feel the seas roll under that she knows so well
Find a star to guide her to the dawn. And then let her greet the long Atlantic swell.
Sing me a shanty, Canta del cabo San Vicente,
Chantez des marins du Nile
Sing a hymn of Trafalgar.
Stream the log now, for she's heeling with a land breeze to inspire
Orange scented from the groves of Andalucia. And within my mind Cadiz still gleams with fire.
Give her sea room. Put St. Vincent well astern by break of day
Then you shorten sail and harden up those sheets, and close hauled we'll make the Northings slip away.
One point to leeward, For the rolling seas are getting shorter now,
They remind me of the lights of far Hyeres, and they tell me Biscay's on the starboard bow.
Shake out your reef. For carried on the breeze that's setting fair
Are spices from the quays of Lorient, (Lorry on) You can sail her free to weather Finisterre.
Ease your main sheets, for it's soon we'll see the harbour lights of home,
Anchor, make-good every sheet and halliard, remembering just who you have on board.
Pipe me ashore, gently hoist aloft your keg of brandy wine.
Make ready to receive the Admiral's barge. Lower me easy, I'm going ashore one last time.
