The last time I saw these words on paper was at Primary School in a songbook along with a song about Cornishmen marching to London and praising a Bishop Trelawney. Admiral Benbow Trad Come all you seamen bold, and draw near, and draw near Come all you seamen bold, and draw near Its of an Admirals 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 Says Kirby unto Wade, We will run, we will run Says Kirby unto Wade, We will run For I value no disgrace nor the losing of my place But te enemy I wont face, nor his gun, nor his gun The Ruby and Benbow fought the French, fought the French The Ruby and Benbow fought the French They fought them up and down till the blood come trickling down Till the blood come trickling down where they lay, where they lay Brave Benbow lost his legs by chain-shot, by chain-shot Brave Benbow lost his legs by chain-shot Brave Benbow lost his legs and all on his stumps he begs, Fight on, my English lads, tis our lot, tis our lot The surgeon dressed his wounds, cried Benbow, cried Benbow The surgeon dressed his wounds, cried Benbow Let the cradle now in haste on the quarter deck be placed That the enemy I may face till I die, till I die
