| Come all you seamen bold and draw near and draw near
|
| Come all you seamen bold and draw near
|
| It’s of an admiral’s fame; |
| Brave Benbow was his name
|
| How he sailed upon the main you shall hear, you shall hear
|
| Brave Benbow he set sail for to fight, for to fight
|
| Brave Benbow he set sail for to fight
|
| Brave Benbow he set sail in a keen and pleasant gale
|
| But his captains they turned tail in a fright, in a fright
|
| The surgeon dressed his wounds, Benbow cried, Benbow cried
|
| The surgeon dressed his wounds, Benbow cried:
|
| «Let the cradle now in haste on the quarterdeck be placed
|
| That the enemy I may face 'til I die, 'til I die
|
| And the enemy I may face 'til I die, 'til I die.» |
