Golden Vanity - The Chad Mitchell Trio

作词：W. Chadbourne Mitchell

作曲：W. Chadbourne Mitchell

Oh there was a lofty ship and she sailed on the sea

And the name of that ship it was the golden vanity

But she feared she would be taken by a turkish enemy

As she sailed on the lowland lowland low

She sailed upon the lowland sea

Then up steps a cabin boy

Just the age of twelve and three

And he says to the skipper what will you give to me

If I swim alongside of your turkish enemy

And I sink her in the lowland lowland low

I 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 the turkish enemy

And to sink her in the lowland lowland low

To sink her in the lowland sea

Then the boy he made all ready and overboard jumped he

And he swam alongside of the turkish enemy

And with his little drilling tool he boared holes three

And he sank her in the lowland lowland lowland

He sank her in the lowland sea

Then the boy he turned around and back again swam he

And he hollered for the skipper to haul him from the sea

But the skipper would not heed

For his daughter he did need

And he left him in the lowland lowland lowland

He left him in the lowland sea

Then the crew they hauled him out

But upon the deck he died

And they wrapped him in his blanket so very soft and wide

They cast him overboard to drift upon the tide

And he sank beneath the lowland lowland low

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 turkish enemy

As she sails on the lowland lowland low

Sails on the lowland sea
