[VERSE 1]
Well, there [C]is a lofty ship
That [G]sails upon the [Am]sea
The [F]name of the ship
'The [G]Golden [C]Vanity'

She feared she'd be taken by
A [G]Spanish [Am]Galilee
As she [F]sailed upon the [G]lowland, [C]lowland [F]low
Sailed upon the [G]lowland [C]sea

[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE 2]
Well, [C]up stepped the cabin boy
The [G]age of 12 and [Am]3
[F]Said to the Captain,
"What [G]will you give to [C]me,

If I swim alongside
The [G]Spanish [Am]Galilee,
And [F]sink her in the [G]lowland, [C]lowland [F]low
Sink her in the [G]lowland [C]sea?"

[VERSE 3]
"Well, [C]I will give you silver
And [G]I will give you [Am]gold
And the [F]hand of me daughter
If [G]you would be so [C]bold,

As to swim alongside
The [G]Spanish [Am]Galilee,
And [F]sink her in the [G]lowland, [C]lowland [F]low
Sink her in the [G]lowland [C]sea."

[INTERLUDE]
[C] [G] [Am] [F] [G] [C]

[VERSE 4]
So the [C]boy made ready
And [G]overboard doth [Am]he
[F]Swam alongside
The [G]Spanish [C]Galilee

With his drilling tool
He [G]bore holes [Am]three
And [F]sank her in the [G]lowland, [C]lowland [F]low
Sank her in the [G]lowland [C]sea

[INTERLUDE]
[C] [G] [Am] [F] [G] [C]

[VERSE 5]
Then the [C]boy turned 'round
And [G]swam back did [Am]he
He [F]called to the Captain
To [G]haul him from the [C]sea

The Captain did not heed
For his [G]daughter he did [Am]need,
And he [F]left him in the [G]lowland, [C]lowland [F]low
Left him in the [G]lowland [C]sea

[INTERLUDE]
[C] [G] [Am] [F] [G] [C]

[VERSE 6]
C*
Well, the crew hauled him up
G* Am*
But on the deck he died
F*
They wrapped him in a blanket
G* C*
And so very softly cried
C*
Threw him overboard
G* Am
To drift among the tide
And he [F]sank beneath the [G]lowland, [C]lowland [F]low
G* C*
Sank beneath the lowland sea
