There was a little ship and she
sailed upon the sea
And she went by the name of the
Golden
Vanity
As she sailed upon that low and
lonesome ocean
As she sailed upon that lonesome sea
Well, she had not been out more
than two weeks or three
till she was overtaken by the
Spanish enemy as she sailed upon that
low and lonesome ocean,
as she sailed upon that
lonesome sea.
And then up spake our little cabin boy, saying,
what will you give me if I will them destroy,
if I'll sink them in that low and lonesome ocean,
if I'll sink them in that lonesome
sea.
Five thousand gold dollars and my
daughter for your bride.
If you will sink
them, sink them in the tide.
If you'll sink them in that
low and lonesome ocean.
If you'll sink him in that lonesome sea
He had a little tool that was built for the
use
And he bored nine holes in her hull all at
once
And he sunk her in the low
and lonesome ocean
And he sunk her in that lonesome sea
Well, the captain pulled his gun
Three shots fired he
And he sunk him in the low
and the lonesome
sea
And he sunk him in that low
and lonesome ocean
And he's sunking in that lonesome sleep.
