There was a lofty ship
and she put out to see,
and the name of the ship
was the "Golden Vanity".

Refrain:
As she sailed upon the low and lonesome lone.
As she sailed upon the low and lonesome see.

She had not been out
but two weeks or three.
when she was overtaken
by a Turkish Revelee.

Refrain

"0, the man that them destroys",
our captain then replied,
"Five thousand pounds
and my daughter for his bride".

Refrain

He had a little tool
that was made for the use.
he bored nine holes
in her hull all at once.

Refrain

He swam back to the ship
and he beat upon the side.
cried "Captain pick me up
for I'm wearied with the tide."
