Sinking In The Lonesome Sea

Lyrics

There was a little ship and she sailed upon the sea
 And she went by the name of the Merry Golden Tree
 And she sailed upon the low and lonesome low
 And 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 lonesome low
 If I sink them in the lonesome sea
 Two hundred dollars I will give unto thee
 And my oldest daughter I'll wed unto you
 If you sink them in the low and lonesome low
 If you sink them in the lonesome sea
 He bowed upon his breast and away swim he
 Till he came the ship of the Turkish Reveille
 As she sailed upon the low and lonesome low
 As she sailed upon 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 lonesome low
 For I'm sinking in the lonesome sea
