Oh! Benny Havens, Oh! etc.

May the army be augmented, promotion be less slow,

May our Country, in her hour of need, be ready for the foe,

May we find a soldier’s resting-place beneath a soldier’s blow,

With space enough beside our graves for Benny Havens, Oh!

Oh! Benny Havens, Oh! etc.

Come, fill up to our Generals, God bless the brave heroes,

They’re an honor to their country, and a terror to her foes;

May they long rest on their laurels and trouble never know,

But live to see a thousand years, at Benny Havens, Oh!
