[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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."
