Admiral Benbow Lyrics by Kimber’s Men

See You When the Sun Goes Down

2002

[Verse 1]
Come all you seamen bold
(Come all you seamen bold)
And draw near
(And draw near)
Come all you seamen bold and draw near
‘Tis of an Admirals fame
And brave Benbow was his name
How he fought all on the main
You shall hear
(You shall hear)
[Verse 2]
Brave Benbow he set Sail
(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 fine and pleasant
Gale
But his Captains they turned pale
In a fright
(In a fright)
[Verse 3]
Said Kirby unto Wade
(Said Kirby unto Wade)
We will run
(We will run)
Said Kirby unto Wade we will run
For I value no disgrace
Nor the losing of my place
But the enemy I'll not face
Nor his guns
(Nor his guns)
[Verse 4]
The Ruby and Benbow
(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 Came trickling down
Till the blood came trickling down
Where they lay
(Where they lay)
[Verse 5]
Brave Benbow lost his legs
(Brave Benbow lost his legs)
By chain shot
(By chain shot)
Brave Benbow lost his legs by chain shot
Brave Benbow lost his legs
Now down on his stumps he begs
Fight on my English lads
'Tis our lot
('Tis our lot)
[Verse 6]
Come surgeon dress my wounds
(Come surgeon dress my wounds)
Cries Benbow
(Cries Benbow)
Come surgeon dress my wounds cries Benbow
Let a cradle now in haste
On the quarter deck be placed
So the enemy I might face
Till I die
(Till I die)
[Verse 7]
When in death he closed his eyes
(When in death he closed his eyes)
They all cried
(They all cried)
When in death he closed his eyes, they all cried
What a terrible sight to see, our brave hero of the day
And they carried him to Kingston church
Where he lay
(Where he lay)
