There was a little ship, and it sailed upon the sea,
G
and she went by the name of the Merry Golden Tree,
D
and she sailed upon the low and lonesome low,
D A7 D
and she sailed upon the lonesome sea.
D
There was a little sailor, unto his captain said,
G
?Oh, captain, captain what'll you give to me,
D
if I sink them in the low and lonesome low,
D A7 D
if I sink them in the lonesome sea??
( D A D )
D
?Two hundred dollars I will give unto thee,
G
and my oldest daughter I will wed unto you,
D
if you sink them in the low and lonesome low,
D A7 D
if you sink them in the lonesome sea.?
D
He bowed upon his breast, and away swim he,
G
till he came the ship of the Turkish Reveille,
D
as she sailed upon the low and lonesome low,
D A7 D
as she sailed upon the lonesome sea.
( D A D )
D
If it wasn't for the love of your daughter and your men,
G
I would do unto you as I did unto them,
D
I would sink you in the low and lonesome low,
D A7 D
I would sink you in the lonesome sea.
D
He bowed his head, and down sank he,
G
farewell, farewell to the Merry Golden Tree,
D
for I'm sinking in the low and lonesome low,
D A7 D
for I'm sinking in the lonesome sea.
