The Golden Vanity - Burl Ives[00:00:00]

There was a ship that sailed it[00:00:11]

All on the Lowland Sea[00:00:14]

And the name of our ship[00:00:17]

Was the Golden Vanity[00:00:18]

And we feared she would be taken[00:00:21]

By the Spanish enemy[00:00:23]

As she sailed in the Lowland Lowland low[00:00:25]

As she sailed in the Lowland Sea[00:00:30]

Then up stepped our cabin boy[00:00:35]

And boldly outspoke he[00:00:36]

And he said to our captain[00:00:39]

"What would you give to me[00:00:41]

If I would swim along side of the Spanish enemy[00:00:42]

And sink her in the Lowland Lowland low[00:00:46]

And sink her in the Lowland Sea"[00:00:51]

"Oh I would give you silver[00:00:56]

And I would give you gold[00:00:59]

And my own fairest daughter[00:01:02]

Your bonny bride shall be[00:01:04]

If you will swim along side of the Spanish enemy[00:01:06]

And sink her in the Lowland Lowland low[00:01:11]

And sink her in the Lowland Sea"[00:01:16]

Then the boy he made him ready[00:01:20]

And overboard sprang he[00:01:22]

And he swam alongside of the Spanish enemy[00:01:25]

And with his brace and auger in her sides[00:01:29]

He bored holes three[00:01:32]

And he sunk her in the Lowland Lowland low[00:01:34]

Yes he sunk her in the Lowland Sea[00:01:39]

Then quickly he swam back[00:01:43]

To the cheering of the crew[00:01:45]

But the captain would not heed him[00:01:47]

For his promise he did rue[00:01:49]

And he scorned his poor entreatings[00:01:51]

When loudly he did sue[00:01:53]

And he left him in the Lowland Lowland low[00:01:56]

He left him in the Lowland Sea[00:02:03]

Then quickly he swam round to the port side[00:02:09]

And up and to his messmates full bitterly he cried[00:02:12]

"Oh messmates[00:02:16]

Draw me up for I'm drifting with the tide[00:02:17]

And I'm sinking in the Lowland Lowland low[00:02:20]

I'm sinking in the Lowland Sea"[00:02:24]

Then his messmates drew him up[00:02:31]

But on the deck he died[00:02:34]

And they stitched him in his hammock[00:02:37]

Which was so fair and wide[00:02:41]

And they lowered him overboard[00:02:44]

And he drifted with the tide[00:02:47]

And he sank in the Lowland Lowland low[00:02:51]

He sank in the Lowland Sea[00:03:01]
