Roger Mcguinn - Golden Vanity Lyrics
And the name of that ship it was the Golden VanityAnd she feared she would be taken by the Turkish EnemyAs she sailed on the lowland, lowland lowAs she sailed on the lowland seaUp stepped a little cabin boy, a cabin boy was heAnd he said to the Captain what will you give to meIf I sneak alongside the Turkish EnemyAnd I sink her in the lowland, lowland lowAnd I sink her in the lowland seaOh I will give you silver and I will give you goldAnd the hand of my daughter your bonnie bride will beIf you'll sneak alongside of the Turkish EnemyAnd you'll sink her in the lowland lowland lowAnd you'll sink her in the lowland seaSo he jumped overboard and overboard jumped heAnd he swam alongside of the Turkish EnemyAnd with a little drilling tool he boar-ed holes threeAnd he sank her in the lowland lowland lowHe sank her in the lowland seaThen he turned himself around and back again swam he'Til he came to the side of the Golden VanityBut the Captain would not heed, for his daughter he did needAnd he left him in the lowland lowland lowHe left him in the lowland seaWell his shipmates brought him out, but upon the deck he diedAnd they wrapped him in his blanket that was so soft and wideAnd they cast him overboard and he drifted with the tideAnd he sank beneath the lowland lowland lowHe sank beneath the lowland seaAnd he sank beneath the lowland lowland lowHe sank beneath the lowland sea
