Текст песни: The Golden Vanity + перевод

There was a lofty ship

And she put out to see

And the name of that ship

Was The Golden Vanity

She sailed along the lonesome sea

She had not been out

For two weeks or three

When she was overtaken

By the Turkish Revelry

She sailed along the lonesome sea

Then up spoke our little cabin boy

Sayin' 'What will you give me?

If them I shall destroy?

If I seek them in the lonesome sea"

To the men I distrust

Our captain did reply

5000 pounds

And my daughter for a bride

If he sinks her in the lonesome sea

So the boy beat his breast

And down jumped him

And he swam 'til he came

To the Turkish Revelry

As she sailed along the lonesome sea

Well he had a little tool

That was made for the use

And he bored 9 holes

In her hull all at once

And he sank her in the lonesome sea

He swam back to his ship

And he beat upon the side

Cryin' «Captain pick me up!

For I’m weary in the tide!

For I’m sinkin' in the lonesome sea»

«I will not pick you up,»

The Captain then replied

«I'll shoot you, I’ll drown you

I’ll sink you in the tide.

Yes I’ll sink you in the lonesome sea.»
