There was a little ship, and she sailed upon the sea And the name of the ship was the Golden Vanity And she sailed upon the low and lonesome low And she sailed upon the lonesome sea 
Oh we had not been out for two weeks or three When we were overtaken by the Turkish Revolli As she sailed upon the low and lonesome low As she sailed upon the lonesome sea 
In a fatal mistake, our little cabin boy Said, what will you give me if I would them destroy If I sink them in the low and lonesome low If I sink them in the lonesome sea 
Well the man that them destroys, our captain then replied Five thousand pounds, and my daughter for his bride If he sinks them in the low and lonesome low If he sinks them in the lonesome sea!" 
So the boy he smote his breast, and he dove into the sea And he swam till he came to the Turkish Revolli As she sailed upon the low and lonesome low As she sailed upon the lonesome sea 
Oh he had a little tool, it was made for the use He bored nine holes in her hull all at once And he sunk her in the low and lonesome low And he sunk her in the lonesome sea 
Now, captain, pick me up, our cabin boy he cried Oh, captian, pick me up, for I’m weary with the tide And I’m sinkin’ in the low and lonesome low And I’m sinkin’ in the lonesome sea 
Well I will not pick you up, our captain then replied I’ll shoot you, I’ll drown you, I’ll sink you in the tide And I’ll sink you in the low and lonesome low And I’ll sink you in the lonesome sea 
Well the mate he picked ’em up and on the deck he died Oh they wrapped him in his hammock which was so long and wide As they sailed upon the low and lonesome low As they sailed upon the lonesome sea 
Oh they wrapped him in his hammock, It was so long and wide Oh they throwed him over-board and he drifted with the tide As they sailed upon the low and lonesome low As they sailed upon the lonesome sea
