There's an English sea ballad I'd like to get to know again about a two-day battle involving Admiral Benbow (?), who gets killed and then buried in Kingston Church.
The very simple but stately melody is in a steady 3/2 time and a major key so to represent it, I'll number the white piano notes 1 = C (= Doh), 2 = D (= Re) etc; and notes below 'home' C/Doh, I'll label G, A, B. So, assuming even beats and making the time signature 6/4,ie all in half beats, the tune goes:
----G1/
113355/543312/334322/1111G1/
113355/543312/334322/1111B1/
22AA22/1BGGGG/111231/444432/
113355/543312/334322/1111--.

Repeated notes are mostly sustained single notes but you'd guessed that, hadn't you.

Can anyone tell me the words?

Ta in advance.
