Alasdair Roberts - Admiral Cole lyrics

Brave Admiral Cole he's gone to sea, oh my boys-O 
Admiral Cole he's gone to sea-O
 Brave Admiral Cole he has gone to sea Along of our ship's company
 On board the bold Benjamin-O We sail-ed our course away for Spain, oh my boys-O 
Sailed our course away for Spain-O
 Sail-ed our course away for Spain
 Our silver and gold for to gain
 On board the bold Benjamin-O We sail-ed out five hundred men, oh my boys-O
 Sailed out five hundred men-O
 We sail-ed out five hundred men 
And we brought back but sixty one
 They were lost in bold Benjamin-O And when we come to Blackwall, oh my boys-O
 When we come to Blackwall-O
 And when we come to Blackwall
 Our captain so loudly did call
 Here comes the bold Benjamin-O Here's the mothers crying for their sons, oh my boys-O
 The mothers crying for their sons-O
 Here's the mothers crying for their sons
 And the widows all for their husbands
 That were lost in bold Benjamin-O
