Golden Vanity (LP Version)歌词

There was a ship that sailed all on the lowland sea
And the name of the ship was the golden vanity
And we feared she would be taken by the Spanish enemy
As she sailed upon the lowland lowland lowland
Sailed upon the lowland sea
Then up spoke our cabinboy and boldly out spoke he
And he said to our captain
What will you give to me
If I swim along the side of the Spanish enemy
And I sink her in the lowland sea
Oh I will give you silver
And I will give you gold
And my own fair daughter
Your bonny bride shall be
If you'll swim along
The side of the Spanish enemy
And you'll sink her in the lowland lowland lowland
Sink her in the lowland sea
Then the boy he made him ready
And overboard sprang he
And he swam to the side of the Spanish enemy
With his brace and auger in her side
He bored holes three
And sank he her in the lowland sea
Then quickly
He swam back to the cheering of the crew
But the captain would not heed him
His promise he did rue
And he scorned his poor entreatings
When loudly he did sue
And he left him in the lowland lowland lowland
Left him in the lowland sea
Then the boy he turned round
And he swam to the port side
And up to his messmates full bitterly he cried
Oh messmates draw me up for
I'm drifting with the tide
And I'm sinking in the lowland lowland lowland
Sinking in the lowland sea
Then his messmates drew him up
But on the deck he died
And they stitched him in a hammock
Which was so fair and white
And they lowered him overboard
And he drifted with the tide
And he sank into the lowland lowland lowland
Sank into the lowland sea
There was a ship that sailed all on the lowland sea
And the name of the ship was the Golden Vanity
And we feared she would be taken
By the Spanish enemy
As she sailed upon the lowland lowland lowland
Sailed upon the lowland sea
As she sailed upon the lowland lowland lowland
Sailed upon the lowland sea
