Lyrics
There was a little ship
And it sailed upon the sea
And it went by the name of the Golden Vanity
As she sailed upon the low and lonesome ocean
As she sailed upon that lonesome sea.
Now she had not been out
More than two weeks or three
When she was overtaken by the Spanish enemy
As she sailed upon the low and lonesome ocean
As she sailed upon that lonesome sea.
Up spake the cabin boy
Yes up spake he
Saying what will you give me if I will then destroy
If I sink 'em in that low and lonesome ocean
If I sink 'em in that lonesome sea
Three thousand golden guineas
In my belt for you pride
If you will sink 'em sink 'em in the tide
If you sink 'em in that low and lonesome ocean
If you sink 'em in that lonesome sea
Well he pulled out a tool
Which was made for the use
And he bored nine holes in the hull of his quest
And he sunk her in that low and lonesome ocean
And he sunk 'em in that lonesome sea
Well the captain drew his gun
Three shots fired he
And he sunk that boy way down in the sea
And he sunk him in that low and lonesome ocean
And he sunk him in that lonesome sea
