Golden Vanity

O there is a lofty ship, and she sails on the sea And the name of that shippin' is the Golden Vanity And she fears she will be taken by a Turkish enemy As she sails on the lowland, lowland, low She sails on the lowland sea. Then up steps the cabinboy just the age of twelve and three And he says to the skipper, What will you give to me If I swim along side of that Turkish enemy And I sink her in the lowland , lowland,low I sink her in the lowland sea. O I will give you silver, and I will give you gold And the hand of my daughter if you will be so bold As to swim along side of that Turkish enemy And to sink her in the lowland, lowland, low To sink her in the lowland sea. Then the boy he made all ready and overboard jumped he And swam alongside of that Turkish enemy And with his little drillin' tool he bore-ed holes three And he sank her in the lowland , lowland, low He sank her in the lowland sea. Then the boy he turned about and back again swam he And hollered for the skipper to haul him from the sea But the skipper 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. O there is a lofty ship and she sails on the sea But she sails without a cabinboy the age of twelve and three And she fears she will be taken by a Turkish enemy As she sails on the lowland, lowland, low She sails on the lowland sea
