[VERSE 1]
There [G]was a ship that sailed all [D]on the lowland [Em]sea
And the [C]name of the ship was the [D]Golden Vanity
And we [G]feared she would be taken by the [D]Spanish ene[Em]my
As she [C]sailed upon the [D]lowland, [G]low[D]land, [Em]low[C]land
[C]Sailed upon the [D]lowland [G]sea.

[VERSE 2]
Then [G]up spoke our cabin boy and [D]boldly out spoke [Em]he
And he [C]said to our captain "What [D]will you give to me
If I [G]swim along the side of the [D]Spanish ene[Em]my
And I [C]sink her in the [D]lowland [G]sea?"
"Oh [G]I will give you silver and [D]I will give you [Em]gold
And my o[C]wn fair daughter your [D]bonny bride shall be
If you'll [G]swim along the side of the [D]Spanish ene[Em]my
And you'll [C]sink her in the [D]lowland, [G]low[D]land, [Em]low[C]land
[C]Sink her in the [D]lowland [G]sea

[VERSE 3]
Then the [G]boy he made him ready and [D]overboard sprang [Em]he
And he [C]swam to the side of the [D]Spanish enemy
With his [G]brace and auger in her side he [D]bored holes [Em]three
And he [C]sank her in the [D]lowland [G]sea
Then [G]quickly he swam back to the [D]cheering of the [Em]crew
But the [C]captain would not heed him, his [D]promise he did rue
And he [G]scorned his poor entreatings when [D]loudly he did [Em]sue
And [C]left him in the [D]lowland, [G]low[D]land, [Em]low[C]land
[C]Left him in the [D]lowland [G]sea

[VERSE 4]
Then the [G]boy he turned round and he [D]swam to the port [Em]side
And [C]up to his messmates full [D]bitterly he cried
"O me[G]ssmates, draw me up, for I'm [D]drifting with the t[Em]ide
And I'm [C]sinking in the [D]lowland, [G]lowl[D]and, l[Em]owl[C]and
[C]Sinking in the [D]lowland [G]sea"
Then his [G]messmates drew him up, but [D]on the deck he [Em]died
And they [C]stitched him in a hammock which [D]was so fair and white
And they [G]low'red him overboard, and he [D]drifted with the [Em]tide
And he [C]sank into the [D]lowland, [G]low[D]land, [Em]low[C]land
[C]Sank into the [D]lowland [G]sea

[Verse 5/Outro]
There [G]was a ship that sailed all [D]on the lowland [Em]sea
And the [C]name of the ship was the [D]Golden Vanity
And we [G]feared she would be taken by the [D]Spanish ene[Em]my
As she [C]sailed upon the [D]lowland, [G]low[D]land, [Em]low[C]land
[C]Sailed upon the [D]lowland [G]sea.
