Martin Carthy And Dave Swarbrick - Bold Benjamin 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
