Verse 1
Oh, (G major) there was a lofty ship
and she sailed on the sea
And the name of her ship
was the Golden Vanity
And she feared she would be taken
by a Turkish enemy
As she sailed on the lowland,
lowland, lowland
She sailed (D major) on the (G major) lowland sea
Well up jumped the cabin boy,
the age of twelve and three
And he said to the (C major) captain,
what (G major) will you (D major) give to (G major) me
If I swim along the side
of that Turkish enemy
And sink (C minor) her in the (G major) lowland,
lowland, lowland
Sink her in the lowland sea
Well, I will give you silver
and I will give you gold
And the hand (F major) of my daughter
(G major) if you would be so bold
As to swim along the side
of that Turkish enemy
And (C minor) sink her in the low (G major) land,
lowland, lowland
And sank her (D major) in the (G major) lowland sea
Well, up left the cabin boy,
and overboard (C minor) of (G major) he
And he swam along (F major) side
all that (G major) Turkish enemy
And with his little drilling tool,
he (A flat major) bored in hose three
(G major) And (C minor) sank her in the (G major) lowland, lowland, low
And sank her in the lowland sea
Well, about turned (A flat major) the cabin boy,
and back again (C minor) swam he
And he (G major) hollered (C sharp major) to the (B flat minor) captain,
(C sharp major) a (G major) -pullin' from the sea
But the (A flat major) captain would not heed,
For his daughter he did need.
(C minor) And he left them (G major) in the low (A flat major) land,
(C minor) lowland, (A flat major) low,
He left them in the lowland sea.
Well, the crew they pwned him out,
But upon the deck he died,
And they wrapped him (B flat minor) in his blanket,
So (E flat major) very soft and wide,
And (A flat major) threw him overboard,
To drift along the tide.
And sink beneath the (C sharp major) low (A flat major) land,
lowland, low
And sink be (E flat major) neath the (A flat major) lowland sea
Well, there is a lofty ship
and she sails on the sea
But she sails (B flat minor) without a cabin
by the (E flat major) age of twelve and three
An (A flat major) d she fears she will be taken
by a Turkish enemy
As she sails (C sharp major) on the low (A flat major) land, lowland, low
As she sails on the lowland sea
you
