Sinking in the Lonesome Sea

Lyrics

There was a little ship
 And it sailed upon the sea
 And she went by the name of the Merry Golden Tree
 As she sailed upon the low and the lonesome low
 As she sailed upon the lonesome sea
 There was a little sailor
 Unto his captain said
 Oh, captain, captain
 What'll you give to me
 If I sink them in the low and a lonesome low
 If I sink them in the lonesome sea
 200 dollars I will give unto thee
 And my oldest daughter I'll wed unto you
 If you'll sink them in the low and lonesome low
 If you'll sink them in the lonesome sea
 He bared his breast
 And away swam he
 Till he came to the side of the Turkish Revelry
 And he sunk her in the low and a lonesome low
 And he sunk her in the lonesome sea
 Oh, captain, captain
 Send down a rope to me
 For I swim back to claim what was promised to me
 I sinked them in the low and the lonesome low
 For I sunk them in the lonesome sea
 Go, brave young sailor
 I will not hear your plea
 For my oldest daughter I will not wed to thee
 I'll leave you to the low and a lonesome low
 I'll leave you to the lonesome sea
 If it wasn't for the love of your daughter and your men
 I would do unto you as I did unto them
 I would sink you in the low and lonesome low
 I would sink you in the lonesome sea
 He bowed his head
 And down sank he
 Farewell, farewell to the Merry Golden Tree
 For I'm sinking in the low and a lonesome low
 I'm sinking in the lonesome sea
