The Golden Vanity

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

The name of the ship was the Golden Vanity

She sailed upon the low, and the lonesome low

She sailed upon the lonesome sea

She had not been out many more weeks than three

When she was overtaken by the Turkish Revelry

Sailing on the low, and the lonesome low

She sailed upon the lonesome sea

Then up spoke a little cabin boy

Saying "What will you give me if I will them destroy?

If I sink her in the low, and the lonesome low

If I sink her in the lonesome sea"

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

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

If you sink them in the low, and the lonesome low

If you sink 'em in the lonesome sea"

The boy smote his breast, and down jumped he

He swam until he came to the Turkish Revelry

Sailing on the low, and the lonesome low

Sailing on the lonesome sea

He had a little tool, made for the use

He bored nine holes in her hull all at once

He sank her in the low, and the lonesome low

He sank her in the lonesome ocean

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

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

Sinking in the low, and the lonesome low

I'm sinking in the lonesome sea"

"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

Sink you in the low, and the lonesome low

I'll sink you in the lonesome sea

Sink you in the low, and the lonesome low

I'll sink you in the lonesome sea"
