_ _ _ There was a little ship and _ it sailed upon the sea
_ And she went by the name [C] of the merry golden tree
[G] As she sailed upon the low and the lonesome low
_ As she sailed upon [D] the lonesome [G] sea
_ _ There was a little sailor _ _ _ unto his captain said
_ Oh captain, captain, [C] what'll you do me
If [G] I sink in the [Em] low [G] and the lonesome low
If I sink them [D] in the [G] lonesome sea _
Two _ hundred dollars _ I will give unto thee
And my oldest [C] daughter I'll wed unto you
[G] If you sink them in the low and the lonesome low
If you sink [C] them in [D] the [G] lonesome sea
_ He _ bared his breast _ _ and waved his swale _
And he came to the side [C] of the Turkish rebel
And [G] he sunk her in the low _ and the lonesome low
And he sunk her [D] in the [G] lonesome sea
Oh _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ captain, captain, _ _ send down a rope to me
For I swim back to claim [C] what was promised to me
[G] I sink them in the low and the lonesome low
For I sunk them [D] in the [G] lonesome sea
_ No brave young sailor _ I will not hear you plea
For my oldest daughter [C] I will not wed to thee
I [G] leave you to the low _ and the lonesome low
I leave you to [D] the lonesome [G] sea
_ _ _ If it wasn't for the love _ of your daughter and your men
I would do unto you [C] as I did unto them
I [G] would sink you in the low and the lonesome low
I would sink you [D] in the [G] lonesome sea
_ He _ bowed his head _ and down sank he
_ Farewell, farewell [C] to the merry golden tree
For [G] I'm sinking in the low and [Em] the [G] lonesome [D] low
[G]
For I'm sinking [D] in the [G] lonesome sea _
