- Agamemnon
Words by Hamish Maclaren (adapted)Tune by Paul Davenport
Where is Henry Adams now that planned the Agamemnon?
Foundered on the River Plate, in Maldonaldos Bay
Oak and iron and blood of her, his fine one, his darling
Sink him in his hammock, boys, he’s gone far away
Oak and iron and blood of her, his fine one, his darling
Sink him in his hammock, boys, he’s gone far away
Where are all the Beaulieu boys that built the Agamemnon?
Let them lie 'neath waiting grass, content at where they lay
Swords and swinging riveters, the sounds will not be waking them
Sink them in their hammocks, boys, thеy’ve gone far away
Swords and swinging rivetеrs, the sounds will not be waking them
Sink them in their hammocks, boys, they’ve gone far away
Where is Captain Nelson now that sailed the Agamemnon?
Fought and beat the Spanish crews in Cape St. Vincent Bay
Oak and iron and blood of her, his fine one, his darling
Broach the keg of brandy, boys, and send him far away
Oak and iron and blood of her, his fine one, his darling
Broach the keg of brandy, boys, and send him far away
