A folk song is often a story

   Admiral Benbow - - Come all ye seamen bold, - And draw near, and draw near - Come all ye seamen bold, - And draw near - It is of an admiral's fame - O brave Benbow was his name - How he fought all on the main - You shall hear, you shall hear. - 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, - With a fine and pleasant gale - But his captains they turn'd tail - In a fright, in a fright. - - 3. Says Kirby unto Wade, - - "We will run, we will run." - Says Kirby unto Wade, - "We will run. - For I value no disgrace - Or the losing of my place - But the enemy I won't face - Nor his guns, nor his guns."
