[Verse 1]
Have you heard how the wars began
Benjamin Bowmaneer?
Heard how the wars began
Castors away
Have you heard how the wars began
When England fought to a man?
The proud tailor rode prancing away

[Verse 2]
From a shear board he made a horse
Benjamin Bowmaneer
Shear board he made a horse
Castors away
From a shear board he made a horse
So he could ride across
The proud tailor rode prancing away

[Verse 3]
From his scissors made bridle bits
Benjamin Bowmaneer
Scissors made bridle bits
Castors away
From his scissors made bridle bits
To keep his horse in his wits
The proud tailor rode prancing away
