Sinking In The Lonesome Sea

BAGDASARIAN

There was a little ship and she sailed upon the sea

And she went by the name of the Merry Golden Tree

And she sailed upon the low and lonesome low

And she sailed upon the lonesome sea

There was a little sailor unto his captain said

Oh captain, captain what'll you give to me

If I sink them in the low and lonesome low

If I sink them in the lonesome sea

Two hundred dollars I will give unto thee

And my oldest daughter I'll wed unto you

If you sink them in the low and lonesome low

If you sink them in the lonesome sea

He bowed upon his breast and away swim he

Till he came the ship of the Turkish Reveille

As she sailed upon the low and lonesome low

As she sailed upon the lonesome sea

If it wasn't for the love of your daughter and your men

I would do unto you as I did unto them

I would sink you in the low and lonesome low

I would sink you in the lonesome sea

He bowed his head and down sank he

Farewell, farewell to the Merry Golden Tree

For I'm sinking in the low and lonesome low

For I'm sinking in the lonesome sea
