There was a lofty shipnAnd she put out to seenAnd the name of that shipnWas The Golden VanitynShe sailed along the lonesome seannShe had not been outnFor two weeks or threenWhen she was overtakennBy the Turkish RevelrynShe sailed along the lonesome seannThen up spoke our little cabin boynSayin' 'What will you give me?nIf them I shall destroy?nIf I seek them in the lonesome seannTo the men I distrustnOur captain did replyn5000 poundsnAnd my daughter for a bridenIf he sinks her in the lonesome seannSo the boy beat his breastnAnd down jumped himnAnd he swam 'til he camenTo the Turkish RevelrynAs she sailed along the lonesome seannWell he had a little toolnThat was made for the usenAnd he bored 9 holesnIn her hull all at oncenAnd he sank her in the lonesome seannHe swam back to his shipnAnd he beat upon the sidenCryin' Captain pick me up!nFor I'm weary in the tide!nFor I'm sinkin' in the lonesome seannI will not pick you up,nThe Captain then repliednI'll shoot you, I'll drown younI'll sink you in the tide.nYes I'll sink you in the lonesome sea.
