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
