Roger McGuinn - Golden Vanity lyrics

Oh there was a lofty ship and a lofty ship was she And the name of that ship it was the Golden Vanity And she feared she would be taken by the Turkish Enemy As she sailed on the lowland, lowland low As she sailed on the lowland sea Up stepped a little cabin boy, a cabin boy was he And he said to the Captain what will you give to me If I sneak alongside the Turkish Enemy And I sink her in the lowland, lowland low And I sink her in the lowland sea Oh I will give you silver and I will give you gold And the hand of my daughter your bonnie bride will be If you'll sneak alongside of the Turkish Enemy And you'll sink her in the lowland lowland low And you'll sink her in the lowland sea So he jumped overboard and overboard jumped he And he swam alongside of the Turkish Enemy And with a little drilling tool he boar-ed holes three And he sank her in the lowland lowland low He sank her in the lowland sea Then he turned himself around and back again swam he 'Til he came to the side of the Golden Vanity But the Captain would not heed, for his daughter he did need And he left him in the lowland lowland low He left him in the lowland sea Well his shipmates brought him out, but upon the deck he died And they wrapped him in his blanket that was so soft and wide And they cast him overboard and he drifted with the tide And he sank beneath the lowland lowland low He sank beneath the lowland sea And he sank beneath the lowland lowland low He sank beneath the lowland sea
