Oh, there was a little ship,
And she sailed upon the sea,
And the name of the ship,
Was the Golden Vanity,
And she feared she would be taken,
By the Spanish enemy,
As she sailed upon the lowland, lowland, low,
As she sailed upon the lowland sea.
Then up stepped the cabin boy,
And boldly outspoke he,
And he said to the Captain,
What would you give to me?
If I would swim alongside,
Of the Spanish enemy,
And sink her in the lowland, lowland, love,
And sink her in the lowland sea.
Oh I would give you silver,
And I would give you gold,
And the hand of my daughter,
Your bonnie bride to be,
If you'll sneak alongside,
Of the Spanish enemy,
And you'll sink her in the lowland, lowland, low,
And you'll sink her in the lowland sea.
And then the boy he made him ready,
Then overboard sprang he,
And he swam alongside,
Of the Spanish enemy,
And with his auger shaft,
In the side he bore holes three,
And he sank her in the lowland, lowland, low,
He sank her in the lowland sea.
Then the boy he turned around,
And back swam he,
And he cried out to the skipper,
Of the Golden Vanity,
But the skipper did not heed,
For his promise he would need,
And he left him in the lowland, lowland, low,
He left him in the lowland sea.
He left him in the lowland sea.
