The Golden Vanity Songtext
von Harmony Glen

There was a little ship, she sailed upon the sea
The name of the ship was the Golden Vanity
She sailed upon the low, the lonesome low
Sailed upon the lonesome sea

She had not been out, many more weeks then three
When she was overtaken by the Turkish revelry
Sailing on the low, the lonesome low
Sailing on the lonesome sea

The cabin boy so brave, unto his captain said
Oh captain, oh captain would you give on to me
If I sink them in the low, the lonesome sea
If I sink them in the lonesome sea


The man who than destroys, the captain then replied
It′s five thousand pounds and my daughter for your bride
If you sink them in the low, in the lonesome low
If you sink them in the lonesome sea
The buy he smut his breast, and down jumped he
He swam until he came at the Turkish revelry
Sailing on the low, the lonesome low
Sailing on the lonesome sea

He had a little tool, he bored nine holes
When he swam up to the ship he beat upon the side
Crying captain pick me up, for I'm waving with the tide
I′m sinking in the lonesome sea

I will not pick you up, the captain than replied
I will shoot you, I will drown you, I'll sink you with the tide
I will sink you in the low, in the lonesome low
I'll sink you in the lonesome sea

So he drowned into the lonesome sea
