There was a lofty ship, and a lofty ship [Abm] was she.
[E] The name of our ship [Gb] was the Golden Vanity, [B] And we feared she'd be taken by the [Abm] Turks
cavalry, [E] As we sailed [B] on the lowlands, [Bbm] lowlands low,
[E] As we sailed [Db] on the [B] lowlands sea.
Upspoke the cabin boy, and boldly outspoke [Abm] he,
[E] He said to the [Gb] captain, what would you give to me?
[B] That I would swim alongside of the Turkish [Abm] cavalry,
[E]
And sink them in [Gb] the lowlands, [Bbm] lowlands [E] low, And sink them in the [Gb] lowlands [B] sea.
Oh, I would give you silver, [Bb] and I would [Abm] give you gold,
[E] My own first [Gb] daughter, your bonny bride would be,
[B] If you would swim alongside of [Ab] the Turkish cavalry,
[Abm] [E] And sink them in [B] the lowlands, [Abm] lowlands low, [E] And sink them in [Ab] the [B] lowlands sea.

Oh, he swam back to the [Abm] chairing of the crew, [E] But the captain would not heed [Gb] him,
His promise he did rue, [B] He left him there adrift,
Sinking in the [E] tide, drifting in [Gb] the lowlands, [Abm] lowlands low,
[E] Drifting [B] in the lowlands sea.
So he swam around to [Abm] the port side, [E] Up to his messmates [Gb] full loudly he cried,
[B] Oh messmates pull me up for not, Drifting [Abm] in the tide,
[E] Drifting in the lowlands, [Abm] lowlands low, I'm [E] drifting in the [Ab]
lowlands [B] sea.
His messmates pulled him up, but [Ab] on the deck he died,
[E] They wrapped him in his hammock, which [Gb] was so fair and white,
And [B] they lured him over as [Abm] he drifted in the tide,
[E] He drifted [B] in the lowlands, lowlands low, [E] He [Gb] drifted in the [B] lowlands sea.
