Golden Vanity

There was a little ship, and she sailed upon the sea
And the name of the ship was the (4) Golden Vanity
And she sailed upon the 1 low and lonesome low
And she sailed upon the 5 lonesome 1 sea

Oh we had not been out for two weeks or three
When we were overtaken by the Turkish Revolli
As she sailed upon the low and lonesome low
As she sailed upon the lonesome sea

In a fatal mistake, our little cabin boy
Said, what will you give me if I would them destroy
If I sink them in the low and lonesome low
If I sink them in the lonesome sea

Well the man that them destroys, our captain then replied
Five thousand pounds, and my daughter for his bride
If he sinks them in the low and lonesome low
If he sinks them in the lonesome sea!"

So the boy he smote his breast, and he dove into the sea
And he swam till he came to the Turkish Revolli
As she sailed upon the low and lonesome low
As she sailed upon the lonesome sea

Oh he had a little tool, it was made for the use
He bored nine holes in her hull all at once
And he sunk her in the low and lonesome low
And he sunk her in the lonesome sea

Now, captain, pick me up, our cabin boy he cried
Oh, captian, pick me up, for I'm weary with the tide
And I'm sinkin' in the low and lonesome low
And I'm sinkin' in the lonesome sea

Well I will not pick you up, our captain then replied
I'll shoot you, I'll drown you, I'll sink you in the tide
And I'll sink you in the low and lonesome low
And I'll sink you in the lonesome sea

Well the mate he picked 'em up and on the deck he died
Oh they wrapped him in his hammock which was so long and wide
As they sailed upon the low and lonesome low
As they sailed upon the lonesome sea

Oh they wrapped him in his hammock, It was so long and wide
Oh they throwed him over-board and he drifted with the tide
As they sailed upon the low and lonesome low
As they sailed upon the lonesome sea
