There was a lofty ship, and she put out to sea And the name of the our ship was the Golden Vanity And she sailed upon the low and lonesome low As she sailed upon the lonesome sea We had not been out but two weeks or three When we were overtaken by the Turkish Revelee As we sailed upon the low and lonesome low As we sailed upon the lonesome sea The quickly up spoke our little cabin boy Sayin, What will you give me if I will them destroy If I sink em in the low and lonesome low If I sink em in the lonesome sea? The man that them destroy, our captain then replied Five thousand pounds and my daughter for his bride If he sink em in the low and lonesome low If he sink em in the lonesome sea Then the boy he smote his chest and overboard jumped he And he swum till he came to the Turkish Revelee As they sailed upon the low and lonesome low As they sailed upon the lonesome sea Now he had a little tool that was made for the use And he bored three holes in her side all at once And he sunk her in the low and lonesome low And he sunk her in the lonesome sea Then he swam back to the ship and he beat upon the side Sayin, Captain, pick me up, for Im drifting with the tide And Im sinking in the low and lonesome low And Im sinkin in the lonesome sea I will not pick you up, the Captain then replied Ill shoot you, Ill drown you, Ill sink you in the tide And Ill sink you in the low and lonesome low And Ill sink you in the lonesome sea Then the boy he took his tool in our side he bored holes three Saying, Captain, Ill take you with me to the bottom of the sea And Ill sink you in the low and lonesome low And Ill sink you in the lonesome sea And we sank into the lonesome sea And we sank into the lonesome sea
