CHORUS

She sailed upon the low, the lonesome low

She sailed upon the lonesome sea

There was a little ship, and she sailed upon the sea

The name of the ship was the Golden Vanity.

CHORUS

She had not been out, many mo-ore weeks than three

When she was overtaken by the Turkish Revelry

CHORUS

And Then up spoke a little cabin boy

Saying what will you give to me if them I will destroy 

CHORUS

"The man who them destroys", the captain then replied

"It's five thousand pounds and my daughter for your bride"

CHORUS

The boy smote his breast, and down jumped he

He swam until he came to the Turkish Revelry

CHORUS

He had a little tool, built just for the use*

And he bore nine holesin the hul all at once*

CHORUS

He swam back to the ship, he beat upon the side

Crying "Captain pick me up, I'm waving with the tide"

CHORUS

"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

CHORUS

And the captain pulled his gun, three shots fired he

And down slipped the cabin boy into the lonesome sea
