Admiral Cole
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
