Captain, oh, Captain, _ _ _ what will you give to me?

sink him in the lowdown, _ _ _ _ _ lowdown, [C] in the [Dm] _ [G] lowdown.
I will [C] sink him [Gm] in the low, that lonesome low. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Gold and silver, all at my command.
[Cm] My own [G] fairest [D] daughter, you [Gm] shall have her hand.
If you sink him in the lowdown, _ _ _ _ _ lowdown, the _ lowdown.

as they sank in the lowdown, _ _ _ _ oh, down [C] in the [Gm] _
lowdown.
And they sank in the low, [C] that [D]
[Gm] lonesome low. _ _ _ _ _ _

All tried to stop them, [D] saw [Gm]
water gaps
as they sank in the lowdown, _ _ _ oh, down in the lowdown.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Round turned the cabin boy, _ _ _ swam with the tide. _
_ _ Swam till he came to [C] his [Gm] old ship's side
as _ _ they sailed along the lowdown, _ _ _ _ lowdown, on the lowdown.
As they sailed along the low, that lonesome low. _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _

Oh, if you don't, you have [D] forfeited [Gm] your word,
because I sank him in the lowdown, _ _ _
_ _ [C] lowdown, in the [A] _ [Gm] lowdown.
I sank him in the low, that lonesome low.

_ _ _ _ [C] lowdown, [Gm] in the lowdown.
