Sinking in the Lonesome Sea

歌詞

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
