The Golden Vanity

歌詞

There was a lofty ship, and she put out to sea And the name of this ship was the Golden Vanity And she sailed upon the low and lonesome low And she sailed upon the lonesome sea She had not been out but two weeks or three When she was overtaken by a Turkish Reveley And she sailed upon the low and lonesome low And she sailed upon the lonesome sea Then up spake our little cabin boy Saying, "What will you give me if I will them destroy If I sink them in the low and lonesome low If I sink them in the lonesome sea?" "Oh, 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 smote his breast And down jumped he He swum till he come to the Golden Reveley As she sailed upon the low and lonesome low As she sailed upon the lonesome sea He had a little tool That was made for the use He bore 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 Then he swum back to his ship and he beat upon the side Cried, "Captain, pick me up, for I'm wearied with the tide And I'm sinkin' in the low and lonesome low And I'm sinkin' in the lonesome sea!" "Oh, I will not pick you up" The captain then replied "I'll shoot you, I'll drown you, I'll sink you in the tide I'll sink you in the low and lonesome low I'll sink you in the lonesome sea!"
