Sinking In The Lonesome Sea

        D
    There was a little ship, and it sailed upon the sea,
                                                           G
    and she went by the name of the Merry Golden Tree,
                    D
    and she sailed upon the low and lonesome low,
                   D                       A7            D
    and she sailed upon the lonesome sea.

        D
    There was a little sailor, unto his captain said,
                                          G
    “Oh, captain, captain what'll you give to me,
          D
    if I sink them in the low and lonesome low,
          D                        A7            D
    if I sink them in the lonesome sea?"

        D
    “Two hundred dollars I will give unto thee,
                                                     G
    and my oldest daughter I will wed unto you,
               D
    if you sink them in the low and lonesome low,
               D                       A7             D
    if you sink them in the lonesome sea."

     D
    He bowed upon his breast, and away swim he,
                                                 G
    till he came the ship of the Turkish Reveille,
                 D
    as she sailed upon the low and lonesome low,
                 D                      A7             D
    as she sailed upon the lonesome sea.

    D
    If it wasn't for the love of your daughter and your men,
                                            G
    I would do unto you as I did unto them,
                  D
    I would sink you in the low and lonesome low,
                  D                     A7             D
    I would sink you in the lonesome sea.

     D
    He bowed his head, and down sank he,
                                            G
    farewell, farewell to the Merry Golden Tree,
                D
    for I'm sinking in the low and lonesome low,
                D                   A7             D
    for I'm sinking in the lonesome sea.
