There was a little ship that sailed on the sea,
And she went by the name [C] of Mary D'Aubrigne,
And [G] she sailed upon [Em] the low [G] and lonesome low,
And she sailed upon [Am] the [G] lonesome sea.
There was [Em] a little frailer, [G]
unto his captain said,
Oh, captain, captain, [C] what you give to me,
If [G] I sink her in the low and lonesome low,
If I sink her in the lonesome sea?
Two hundred dollars I will give unto thee,
And my oldest daughter [C] I'll wed unto you,
[G] If you sink her in the low and lonesome low,
If you sink her in the lonesome sea.
Deep at his breast, and away swam he,
Till he came to the ship [C] of the Turkish Revolution,
[G] And he sunk her in the low and lonesome low,
And he sunk her in the lonesome sea.
Deep at his breast, and back swam he,
Oh, captain, captain, [C] I want my reward,
For [G] I'll sink you in the low and lonesome low,
For I'll sink you [D] in the [G] lonesome sea.
[C]
[G]
Deep at his breast, and swam with the tide,
And he bore three oars [C] his own ship's tide,
And [G] he sank her in the low and lonesome low,
And he sank her in the lonesome sea.
Deep at his head, and down sank he,
Farewell, farewell [C] to the merry go-retreat,
[G] And he sank her in the low and lonesome low,
And sank her in the lonesome sea.
