Admiral Cole - Alasdair Roberts

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
