Golden vanity lyrics

Artist  : Peter, paul & mary 
Song : Golden vanity
 
There was a ship that sailed all on the lowland
sea
And the name of the ship was the golden vanity
And we feared she would be taken by the spanish
enemy
As she sailed upon the lowland, lowland, lowland
Sailed upon the lowland sea.

Then up spoke our cabinboy and boldly out spoke
he
And he said to our captain "what will you
give to me
If I swim along the side of the spanish enemy
And I sink her in the lowland sea? "

"oh I will give you silver and I will give
you gold
And my own fair daughter your bonny bride shall
be
If you’ll swim along the side of the spanish
enemy
And you’ll sink her in the lowland, lowland,
lowland
Sink her in the lowland sea.

Then the boy he made him ready and overboard
sprang he
And he swam to the side of the spanish enemy
With his brace and auger in her side he bored
holes three
And sank he her in the lowland sea.

Then quickly he swam back to the cheering of the
crew
But the captain would not heed him, his promise
he did rue
And he scorned his poor entreatings when loudly
he did sue
And left him in the lowland,lowland, lowland
Left him in the lowland sea.

Then the boy he turned round and he swam to the
port side
And up to his messmates full bitterly he cried
"o messmates, draw me up, for I’m drifting
with the tide
And I’m sinking in the lowland, lowland, lowland
Sinking in the lowland sea."

Then his messmates drew him up, but on the deck
he died
And they stitched him in a hammock which was so
fair and white
And they low’red him overboard, and he drifted
with the tide
And he sank into the lowland, lowland, lowland
Sank into the lowland sea.

There was a ship that sailed all on the lowland
sea
And the name of the ship was the golden vanity
And we feared she would be taken by the spanish
enemy
As she sailed upon the lowland, lowland, lowland
Sailed upon the lowland sea.

As she sailed upon the lowland, lowland, lowland
Sailed upon the lowland sea.
