The next harm7that we had,
/, boys, O boys ! We had cause to be sad, I ! The next harm that we had We lost four men from the yard In the poor Benjamin, 0 I
Disabled as I name,
I, boys, 0 boys 1 We were drove on the main, I ! So the next harm we had We lost our rudder's head In the poor Benjamin, 0 I
Then we fell all to prayer, ,
I, boys, O boys ! The Lord our lives would spare, I! ■
Then we fell all to prayer, And He at last did hear Us in the Benjamin, 01
Although we sail'd in fear,
I, boys, O boys I The Lord our ship did steer, I! Our prayers so fervent were That we had passage clear
Into brave Plimouth Sound, OI
We came in Plimouth Sound,
/, boys, O boys / Our hearts did then resound, I ! When we came to Plymouth Sound Our grief with joy was crown'd In the poor Benjamin, 01
When we came all on shore,
I, boys, O boys ! Every man^at his dore, I! When we came all on shore Our grief we did deplore In the poor Benjamin, O 1 |
