Текст песни: The Golden Vanity + перевод

Well there once was a lofty ship that sailed upon the sea

the name of the ship it was the golden vanity

and the one day she came upon the Spanish enemy

as she sailed upon the lowlands, lowlands low

as she sailed upon the lowlands low.

Well up spoke the cabin boy of only 12 and 3

he said to the captain, now what would you give to me

if I were to swim up to the Spanish enemy

and sink here in the lowlands, lowlands low

and sink her in the lowlands low.

In the lowlands, in the lowlands

and sink her in the lowlands low.

Well I will give you silver, and I will give you gold

if you should attempt it is daring and so bold

oh and me lovely daughter’s hand in marriage you shall hold

if you sink her in the lowlands, lowlands low

if you sink her in the lowlands low.

In the lowlands, in the lowlands

and sink her in the lowlands low.

Well then the young cabin boy jumped straight into the sea

and with a rope around his waist, he swam up to the enemy

and with the hammer bored a hole and then another three

and he sunk her in the lowlands, lowlands low

and he sunk her in the lowlands, low.

In the lowlands, in the lowlands

he sunk her in the lowlands low.

Well oh me captain I have done the deed you asked of me

I have sunk the Spanish ship into the briny sea

so won’t you throw a ladder down or drowned I shall be

cause I’m sinking in the lowlands, lowlands low

I’m sinking in the lowlands low.

But, to the drowning cabin boy, the captain paid no heed

cause he had made a promise that he never meant to keep

his daughter he would marry to a man with wealth to reap

so he left him in the lowlands, lowlands low

he left him in the lowlands low.

In the lowlands, in the lowlands

he left him in the lowlands low.

In the lowlands, in the lowlands

he left him in the lowlands low.
