• The Golden Vanity

Oh, there was a lofty ship and she sailed on the sea
And the name of that ship it was the Golden Vanity
She feared she would be taken by a Spanish galilee
As she sailed along the lowlands, lowlands, lowlands
She sailed along the lowland sea

And we hadn’t been a-sailing a week but scarcely three
When the lookout man had sighted a Spanish galilee
And he says we’ll all be sunk to the bottom of the sea
As we sailed along the lowlands, lowlands, lowlands,
We sailed along the lowland sea

Then up steps the cabin boy just the age of twelve and three
And he says to the captain, “What will you give to me
If I swim alongside of your Spanish galilee
And I sink her in the lowlands, lowlands, lowlands
Sink her in the lowland sea?”

“Oh, 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 alongside of that Spanish galilee
And to sink her in the lowlands, lowlands, lowlands
Sink her in the lowland sea.”

Then that boy he bared his breast and overboard jumped he
And swam till he came to that Spanish galilee
Then with his little drilling tool he bored holes three
And he sank her in the lowlands, lowlands, lowlands
He sank her in the lowland sea.

Then the cabin boy turned round and back again swam he
And he called for the captain to haul him from the sea
But the captain would not heed for his daughter needed he
So he left him in the lowlands, lowlands, lowlands
Left him in the lowland sea.

Then the crew they hauled him up but on the deck he died
And they wrapped him in his blanket so very soft and wide
Then they cast him overboard to drift upon the tide
And he sank beneath the lowlands, lowlands, lowlands
He sank beneath the lowland sea.

Oh, there is a lofty ship and she sails on the sea
But she sails without a cabin boy the age of twelve and three
And she fears she will be taken by a Spanish galilee
As she sails along the lowlands, lowlands, lowlands
She sails along the lowland sea.
